CORNER

CHUCK WALSTROM LEE GRUBER

The ESOP has given me an extra sense of I'm into my 15th month of retirement
financial security allowing me to do more of and so far, it's been pretty good. For the first
the things I enjoy in my retirement. couple months it was great, then most
everything was canceled or closed with the
exception of golf due to Covid. Prior to the
shutdown, I was going to cardio class twice a
week, Pickleball twice a week, golf every
Tuesday with some old dudes (one is 92 and
one is 86 and they hit the ball pretty darn
good). Dan Tignor (also recently retired from
Wilson) and I play golf twice a month, as well
and Karaoke every Wednesday. There was
plenty to do until the pandemic, but things are
starting to get back to normal. One bright spot
was getting my first ESOP check. We had hoped
to do some traveling, but due to the shutdown
that was postponed. We were however able to

I am buying a boat with my first a couple bills, painting our house, replacing all

house in Mexico and hope to be in it by fall. purchasing a new golf cart. Being on a fixed
income takes a little getting used to as it is a
long time between paydays and it sure is a
comfort to have the ESOP money there
providing extra financial security.
