RETIREES IN ACTION


A message from PEF Retirees President Jim Carr Caring is what matters most


The following is a philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the “Peanuts” comic strip. You don’t need to actually answer the questions. Just ponder them. If you just read the list straight through, you’ll get the point:


• Who are the five wealthiest people in the world?


• Who are the last five Heisman Trophy winners?


• Who are the last five winners of the Miss America pageant? • Who are 10 people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize? • Who are the last half-dozen Academy Award winners for best actress?


• Who are the last decade’s World Series winners? How did you do? The point is, none of us remembers the headlines of yesterday. These are no second- rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But applause dies


CARR


and life goes on. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.


Here’s another quiz:


• List a few people who aided you in your journey through life.


• Name three friends


who have helped you through a difficult time.


• Name five people who have taught you something worth- while.


• Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.


• Think of five people you enjoy spending time with. Was that easier?


The lesson: People who make a difference in your life are not the


ones with the most credentials, the most money or most awards. They simply are the ones who care the most!


The PEF Retirees leadership cares about workers and future generations. That’s why we work so hard to advocate for and protect our defined-benefit pension plan from all of the assaults and efforts to replace it with one that relies on defined contributions with no guarantee that it will produce the income workers will need when they retire.
