Schick continued, "My wife, Catherin, and my two sons-John and Timothy and my twin daughters, Doris and Deborah, were all looking forward to my retirement and it was rough on all of us when I had to tell them it was all off," he said. He conceded that keeping up with school tuition and related bills was a big factor in his decision. "By coincidence, my 18-year-old twin daughters started their freshman year at Wayne State University today and my second son Timothy, is working on his master's degree at Ohio University, so the costs of education are fresh in my mind," he said. He expressed some bitterness that "both Uncle Sam and the union" would have dipped into the $500-a-month retirement pay he could have drawn. "It would seem to me that since a person paid taxes all his life and also paid union dues and assessments during the time he should get a tax break and a dues break, but it doesn't work out that way," Schick said.

He also questioned Social Security limits on how much he could earn to supplement his retirement pay. "I started putting money into Social Security in 1938 and never got a nickel out of it yet, so why should they tell me how much I can earn on the side?" he asked.

Pauline, 51, thinks "30-and-Out" is wonderful, too, "because it gives the younger generation, especially those coming back from Vietnam, a chance at a job." Their only child, 18-year-old Michael Sakoski, is a senior at Detroit's Cody High School and hopes to become an attorney.

Between his pension and "a few grand put away," Stanley says he's ready to meet the college bill. After champagne and a bit of dancing tonight, the Sakoskis' immediate plans are to travel by car to Florida on what Pauline quickly described as honeymoon in Miami." After returning, Sakoski plans to spend his free time forking around the house, playing golf and bowling. Until he is 62, Sakoski will draw $500 a month. When he reaches 62 he automatically will qualify for 80 per cent of his full Social Security benefit, or $154,40, and his GM-paid pension will go down to $450 a month. But that pension, plus '80 per cent of Social Security will raise his income to $604.40 and it will remain there until he reaches age 65.

At 65 he will revert to the normal GM pension formula, curity, will bring in $401.82 monthly for life.
