"I guess I'll spend most of my time visiting my children and keeping house," she added. "I'm retiring today, also," she remarked as she held onto the engraved Accutron watch she had just received in commemoration of her quarter century of service. "The hardest thing about retiring is having to leave the people you've worked with for so long."
