I'm three years away, but it seems pretty evident that retirees are immediately out of the "club" and socializing pretty much ends with those who are still on the job.
It's kind of like the skydive instructor told me: "If you don't jump, we don't hang with you, because there is nothing to talk about."
We have some really good friends there, but it's built on that common interest (I'm in management and the friends I refer to are peers at other locations. We have to travel to get together). I think these relationships will wither on the vine.
Anybody back that up with experience?
