Laura's with the STRS (State Teachers' Retirement System) and I'm with PERS
(Public Employees' Retirement System), both in Ohio.  Both funds lost 4
billion out of 50 billion each, so it could be worse.  Hopefully, everything
will settle back down  before I retire.  I have 20 years in Social Security,
and I'll have 20-25 in PERS.  Hoping to double-dip, like my dad.  He doesn't
make much less retired than he did while he was working.

Like the thing Beth sent, though.  I'll probably be greeting at Wal-Mart.

No, I'm with Tennessee Consolidate Retirement System, one off the best. Last
year they lost 10% which was 2.5 billion. It's still better than TIAA-CREF.
