That means you are not coming to Knoebels!

I don't think there is such a thing as retiring from letterboxing, just
a refocusing of life priorities. You may not go to many gatherings, you
may not participate on the many boards and such, you may not even plant
any longer, but what is really to stop you from spending some time
outdoors every once in a while? There is still the simple joy of the
hunt, the thing that really lures all to the hobby, it needs to be
slaked every once in a while, and takes little time to do so. You know
what they say about all work and no play after all.

I of course wish you luck in your life's endeavors, and hope to see you
out there sooner rather then later.

I haven't been able to find a box of yours yet, but do hope that you
will enjoy your other activities as much as you must have enjoyed
Letterboxing. Best Wishes.

You may not feel like thinking about this right now, but eventually you
should allow others to adopt your boxes, especially if they show an
interest in lovingly maintaining them.
