Kim Guadagno 's husband, Michael, is an appeals court judge. In order to collect his pension, he is required by law to notify Kim Guadagno in her dual role as secretary of state that he'll reach the mandatory retirement age of 70 this month.

A Vancouver doctor surprised many recently when he asked patients to help him ease into retirement - monetarily. Saying he "did not make much money," Myron MacDonald cited his lack of pension, limited savings and tendency to not charge patients for uninsured services, according to the CBC: "I fully understand that most of you do not have an extra $1,000 lying around but any amount will be of help to me."
