I've been in this chair for a long time. I'm the longest serving chief arbiter by far. As I look back on my career I can see why Vladimir Tinkerbell and Hannibal Bishop left when then did. I should have learned something from them.

I never saw myself as a Junker until Tinkerbell recruited me. That was a different time. We stood for something then.....at least I did, or thought I did. It's all about profit now, and I've made plenty. I've made enough to retire ten times over. In the process of making this much money I've become a lot like those I hated when I got into this business. I set out to stand against those who would crush people for their own gain, and now here I am looking very much like them.

It's time for me to retire. I'll take some time to transfer some assets and make the right things happen, and then I'm setting out to space for good. I'll be around although most of you won't know it. Drop me a line if you're so inclined, I might actually get it.

Those of you that want to hurt Junkers because you don't like me.......well, I imagine you'll continue doing that. I really don't care anymore which is one more reason I need to retire. Knock yourselves out til your blue in the face. You never did catch me and you never will.

Junkers, its been fun. I've enjoyed flying with you all, but this really is for the best. Things are changing. I don't like change. My old ideas just aren't going to fit this new age. You need leadership that will make the Junkers all they could ever be. That's just not me anymore. JT, you've done a find job of leading this mob while I sat at the bar and drank my rum. I'm sure you'll do just as well in the future.

You guys take care of yourselves and keep it in the chanel.

Crow Out
