Owen, you’re a class act and thank you for all YOUR contributions to promoting giant pumpkins. I hope one day to make it to Germany where the old guys can share a cold one and remember the good old days together.

This could be a template for anyone moving on or leaving anything. Very well-worded and complete, with ideal spacing.
Very good luck to you in all that you will do! Eric G

Very well spoken Owen. And many thanks to your dedication with our great hobby/past time and spreading the seeds, advice and wisdom into Germany and beyond. Also kind words to GPC with all their volunteer time and efforts in making this a true World Wide Event for all to enjoy. But certainly understand your feelings, it is like any sport or hobby, one has the drive and ambition, participation and so forth for so many years, then you lose it. Cheers!

Owen, I was a young man in this sport and wrote you. I have relative in Germany and my mom is German. You were so kind and sent me seeds. I wish you and your family the best. You are doing the right thing if the fun is gone. That is what keeps me coming.
