Inspector Bacon:

It seems you have sizzled too long on the investigating fire!

Sure, I was guilty of the PZ Kut Caper but DMS was flaunting that
beautiful white carving media how could I have resisted DMS
bought all of the existing inventory and I had stamps to carve! Now,
gladly, that crime is part of my past.

The past year, in an effort to improve myself, I have spent up to 3
hours per day coaching, helping the newbies on our Newboxers Talk
List. We have nurtured and instructed the newbies in a variety of
methods to become better letterboxers. We've taught them our history
so they will know from where we've come. Doesn't this account for
something?

One of our greatest accomplishments was to run a patch contest,
purchased and sold some Newboxers patches which have helped their
identity as newbies and has furthered their efforts to feel part of
the greater letterboxing community. While sales were brisk; we still
have 19 left. Maybe you would like to purchase one?

All of the proceeds were turned over to a special fund whose purpose
is to build a letterboxing museum in CT the undisputed center of
the letterboxing universe. Architects are now drawing up plans as I
write. Archimedes Screw will be the curator. We have turned over the
proceeds of the profits to her for safekeeping.

So, dear Inspector, our year has been one of self improvement;
helping those new to the game and all profits have been submitted. If
you don't believe me; ask Archimedes Screw.

OK Screw tell him how good I've been this past year and dispel
any suspicions that he might have against me! Finally I wish my
name to be cleared and my rehabilitation recognized.

Your ever improving servant.

Mark Pepe
