The Retirees

As a schoolboy, Dr. Meiksins’s stories were always published in the school’s newspaper. In his professional life as well as in his layman’s life, Dr. Meiksin had surprising, intriguing, and inspiring experiences that he likes to share with his readers. Life does not end with retirement; revenge is sweet; life does not always work out as planned. Although the stories are all fiction, they are tailored after real-life events.

Zvi Meiksin is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Pittsburgh, and a registered professional electrical engineer. He published extensively in the technical and professional literature including six textbooks. He worked in and consulted for industrial organizations and founded two technical companies. While studying he worked in non-technical fields and was exposed to illuminating and inspiring experiences, some of which he shares in these short stories.
