Took early retirement, with appropriate package, in January 2000 after 23 years with Citi.

Probably through pure ignorance, although I'd like to think it was with much forethought I stayed in the defined benefits plan so retirement isn't too much of a hardship.

Had a good career, and great time, with the Bank with assignments in South Afica and Hong Kong before coming home for the final time in 1990 to "settle down".

Enjoyed the camaraderie that being a "Citibanker" engendered and lasting friendships that have endured beyond retirement.

Through ex-Citi perhaps more can be rekindled.
