Today we talk to Scott Hirons from Massachusetts and it is an episode you don't want to miss. As a retired person now for over eight years I have found that one of the ways I stay happy is by volunteering in my community. Curt and I know many retirees volunteer much more than we do and we really respect that part of their life's journey. Today's conversation with Scott tells his story...volunteering at a whole new level. Well done, Scott...well done!
