Retirement / Medical
Due to severe arthritis and replacement of both knees required, I was forced into retirement. However, my mental and most physical attributes remain in place and very stable, I still maintain a Top Secret Clearance and a very extensive knowledge of every aspect of MS Office. Working a remote position would greatly enhance my life as I am not ready to become complacent sitting on my butt.
