Hmm, well, I can certainly understand why you would want to seriously consider it.
Is it possible that upon retirement from full time, you can sit down with your employer and set some definite ground rules and the maximum amount of hours that you're willing to do per day or per week? Perhaps you can take on a more supervisory /training role as well?
I would fear that if you don't set limits before the part time starts, you may be edged towards something else as time progresses. If possible, get it in writing, too, and not just a verbal "understanding". If your immediate boss leaves, all cards may be off the table then for the next person.
Stuff to hash out, for sure.
