Tomorrow we will be attending my friend Dan Sofia's retirement party at Calvine High School. Dan concludes his long career (nearly forty years) in education in just a few short weeks. Many of those years he has served as an administrator for the Elk Grove School District, but he began his vocation as a business teacher at Hiram Johnson High School (that was the year we met) immediately after completing his business education degree from Fresno State University. Dan also worked a short time for the Sacramento County Office of Education, my place of employment for thirty years, both as a teacher and as an administrator. Forty years is a long time, but Dan started his work in education at a very young age, so he has a lot of years left to enjoy retirement.
Nancy and I wish Dan the best as he embarks on his new journey as a retiree. It should be interesting to follow his next life as an untethered educator, with plenty of time on his hands and lots of energy to channel towards some new endeavor. Welcome to the club, Dan!
