— Classmates celebrating 50th reunion take part in West Chicago homecoming parade – Jessica Cilella (DIERSEN: Crete-Monee High School Class of 1966 held its outstanding 50th reunion last Saturday evening at the Lincolnshire Country Club in Crete. Of the 200 graduates, 100 responded to the event questionnaire, 67 attended one or more of three weekend events, and 31 spouses/guests attended one or more of the events. Sadly, 48 of the 200 have passed away. I was one of the few who had attended all three of the previous reunions – the 25th in Beecher, the 20th in Matteson, and the 10th in Homewood. One of my classmates, Dennis Peters from Morris, ran for state representative in 1998.)

http://www.mysuburbanlife.com/2016/09/12/league-of-women-voters-groups-join-forces-to-press-candidates-into-forum-participation/a55kmcv/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: League of Women Voters of Wheaton voter service Chairwoman Shannon Burns, who served on the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County Board of Commissioners, said these forums are one of the few times candidates can stand in front of the public and sell their message. “When an elected person doesn’t show up, it effectively takes away the opportunity for their opponent to stand next to them and either show well or show badly next to the currently elected person,” she said. “America was built on the notion of choice and voting for a candidate you like or want or think would be best.”)

FED WEEK
— Nearly a Third of Federal Employees Already Are Retirement-Eligible (DIERSEN: I would have eligible for regular retirement when I was 55 in 2003, but my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” when I was 49 in 1997.)
http://www.fedweek.com/federal-managers-daily-report/nearly-third-federal-employees-already-retirement-eligible/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Thirty-one percent of federal employees already are retirement-eligible, according to newly released data from OPM, underscoring the potential for significant loss of expertise and the need for hiring to replace departing employees in the time ahead. While long-standing warnings of a “retirement wave” have proven to be overstated, in terms of a potential rush of employees to the exit doors all at once, the figures re-emphasize that the government is top-heavy in terms of its age profile and can expect a substantial flow of retirements continuing in the years ahead. Nearly twice as many employees, 13 percent, are age 60 or older than are under age 30, 7 percent. Thirty-two percent are between age 50 and 59, 26 percent between 40 and 49, and 22 percent between 30 and 39. The figures, released in conjunction with preliminary results of this year’s Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, are for non-postal, full-time, permanent, non-seasonal executive branch employees. According to a separate OPM report, the average age at retirement is 61.5 under CSRS and 60.8 under FERS.)
