Thinking back on his years of service, Tenenbaum quoted Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore: I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awakened to find that life was duty. Behold, I acted and duty was joy.
Tenenbaum s retirement is effective June 1.
When asked what his plans are when he retires, Tenenbaum says he plans to get back to the gym and live in the mountains. The single item left on his bucket list, he says, is to also visit Normandy to pay his respects.
