MODERN 60 Seconds with...

Modern: Skip, after more than 40 years, you're retiring. Why now? Eastman: I always said I would know when it's time. Not long ago, I was in for my annual physical, and my doctor, who is a very good friend, said, "Skip, you've worked at a very high pace for a long time. You're in perfect health for 74, but maybe you ought to think about retiring." When I left, I thought about the fact that I've had 40 great years, I have no issues at work, and I have a wife of 52 years plus four kids and nine grand-kids I can spend more time with. Maybe I should go out on top. It was the right time. Within the week, I let Twinlode know that within 5 months I'd be retiring.
