In October 2013 HR Plus was acquired by Sterling, and on Friday, December 13, 2013 Sterling announced that the office in Chicago would be closed. Most employees would be let go. My last day was at the end of April 2014, and if I stayed to the bitter end I would receive a bonus. This made my decision to retire much easier.

• I'm currently involved in a number of Danish / Scandinavian organizations as well as in a local bicycle club.
• Apart of being boardmember in some of these organizations, I also maintain a number of their web sites.
• Over the years I have also been the designated Danish teacher in Chicago, first at The Danish American Athletic Club but for the last 20 years I have taught at North Park University.
