fajor Cr -edit Cards Accepted
in their 50s and 60s think about cut-
ting back.
People who are healthy want to stay
active and continue to use the skills
they've developed over a life-time.
They recognize that the social contact
and the respect they receive at their
jobs are not easily replaced. Yet, they
want to spend more time with family
and pursuing other interests.
Like the Fullers, personal experi-
ence with life's uncertainties was the
impetus for Elaine Weston to cut
back. As executive secretary to the
director of Jewish Vocational Service,
she enjoyed providing support for a
worthwhile agency.
As she got older, she wanted to
spend more time gardening and with
her husband. Her preference was to
cut hours, but that option wasn't avail-
able, so she kept putting off the deci-
sion to retire. Then her twin sister
died, and Weston threw in the towel.
She was 68.
Three months later, she found her-
self looking for something to do. "I
was making cookies every day," she
said. "It wasn't good."
She began to volunteer at the
Federation Resource Line, an organi-
zation that refers people to resources
in the Jewish community Shortly
after, she was offered part-time work.
The new job, now three years old,
is five minutes from Weston's home.
She enjoys the Monday-Wednesday-
Friday schedule and supporting anoth-
er worthwhile Jewish agency. The
social interaction is sustaining. She
feels competent performing a variety
of tasks that are similar to her old job.
Her husband, Dr. Marvin Weston,
was pleased that she returned to work.
"I couldn't look at any more cookies,"
he joked.
Dr. Weston practiced optometry for
50 years in Royal Oak. At 68, he sold
the business with a contract that
included a temporary arrangement for
him to continue to work part-time. He
liked seeing old patients and working
with the new owners. They liked him.
Seven years later, he still works a few
hours each week.
Dr. Weston also developed a hobby.
He sculpts in bronze and has had sev-
eral shows of his work.
Finding help for the financial aspect
of this type of change is much easier
than finding guidance for the social
and lifestyle changes. Elaine Weston,
who is familiar with Jewish resources
from her new job, says that there's very -'
little out there.
Patti Moyer, office manager of the
Birmingham Area Senior Citizens
Council, agreed. "There are no public
classes for transitioning," she said.
Moyer stated that the lifestyle aspect
of retirement planning is an area that
some corporations are looking at.
Chrysler Corporation offers a retire-
ment planning series, open only to
salaried personnel.
For those contemplating cutting
back, talking to others who have done
so is a good option. The Jewish
Community Center's Institute for
Retired Professionals (IRP) is an orga-
nization of such people.
The IRP, open to anyone, is a group.
of 270 semi-retired or retired individu-
als interested in continuing to learn.
Twenty-five on-going educational
groups meet at the Jewish Community
Centers in Oak Park and West
Bloomfield.
Classes are facilitated by members of
the IRP. Groups meet to study diverse
topics such as Jewish thought, Yiddish,
Hebrew and humanities, film studies
and the art of money management.
While not providing formal classes
on cutting back, the IRP is a great
place to find out what others are doing.
IRP Director Linda Foster said it is
important for people who are thinking
of retiring or cutting back to make
plans for doing something with their
free time.
Many people who are still working
full-time go to the IRP when consider-,-
ing retiring. Foster guesses that
between six months and two years
before people retire, they start setting
up things to do.
Participation in the IRP is another
way that people's skills and talents can
enrich themselves and the community.
Job related stress and health problems
led IRP Assistant Director Iry Ritter to
retire early. He used the expertise
developed over 39 years as a teacher
and school administrator to help the
growing IRP program.
After one year, he became part-time
paid staff, a job he enjoys greatly.
There's no formula for cutting back.
Those 50 and up are following their
heart to make their lives more fulfilling
than perhaps they've ever been.
