Oh 95, quit while you are behind and quit

And they should close it. I can't believe that WSU A/P and Faculty can still opt in to PERS3/TRS3. Defined Benefit Plans should be abolished IMHO.
Now back to Anne. Please explain how Anne's time at Portland State (which is located in
Oregon BTW), would have any bearing on her potential membership in PERS2 (which is a retirement plan for
Washington public employees? Note above: Oregon is not Washington......
To your other comment, I bolted from PERS2 for TIAA and have some regrets. You probably chose well. Seemed like the thing to do at the time, given various reasons. Needless to say I have not gone back and done any "what if's". I am actually vested in PERS2 not all that many years), and when I get close to 65 need to look at my balance vs the pension and decide which one to take. Probably the pension for tax reasons if nothing else. Although that life expectancy is a hard one to put a number to. Pretty sure I will at least outlast our beloved pal Gibby, as he will likely fret himself to death here pretty soon.
Anyway, enough of that. I hadn't realized Eckhaus was from Culver City. Nice homecoming for him.
