Tony Dillon Retires at 55!

Classmate Tony Dillon retired from Big Bend Community College, where he worked as a printer for over 20 years!

Tony and his wife Marge are in Florida now, picking out a sailboat to enjoy their retirement years.

If you look close, you can see Tony's Pony (tail, that is). Tony decided to not cut his hair about two years ago until he retired. Maybe he's sporting a mohawk now?
