Forrest Greenslade in the news


"Night Music" painting by Forrest Greenslade

"Retiring can be traumatic,” shared Forrest Greenslade.“ In one day you go from making important decisions, having your name known, being invited to all the big meetings, and having authority and influence, to having all that gone. In one day. A lot of people don’t survive it. A post-retirement career is the best health change you can make. You have to find something you are passionate about and study, study, study, so that you can become the best you can be at it.”
