WHEN anyone asks me what is the best thing about being retired I tell them, “Tutoring second-graders at Sun Valley Elementary School in San Rafael.”
And what makes tutoring the best part of my retirement free time?
“Everything!”
I started tutoring at Sun Valley in September 2010, about one year after I retired.
My wife is active in Driftwood, a group that supports Whistlestop, the great organization that helps seniors throughout Marin.
An article in Whistlestop’s monthly newsletter, “Got A Little Love in Your Heart?,” caught my attention, and I contacted Experience Corps, the organization mentioned in the newsletter article.
