Trying to figure out what you would do after retirement? Jim Pauley has some ideas!

The author of two-award winning books obviously did figure it out when he transitioned from a 45-year career as a flight attendant.

Pauley is an Edwardsburg native, having graduated from Edwardsburg High School in 1974. In addition to authoring the books, "Bumpy Rides and Soft Landings," and "An Unconditional Friendship," Pauley teaches creative writing at the Forever Learning Institute in South Bend.
