Retirement in Oxford: David Abbey says living in Oxford makes a great third career
When David Abbey moved to Oxford nearly two years ago, he was not sure what to expect. Abbey had lived in New York, San Francisco, Chicago and most recently Minneapolis, when he chose to retire for the second time. After working in TV advertising and owning a business, at 65 Abbey said, "It was time to decide what I wanted to do when I grew up."
Abbey knew of Oxford from family who lived nearby, and he wanted to try living in a small town. He had only visited the South before he moved here, but he said Oxford seemed like a nice place to try out for a few years.
