he was seen around whistler this summer filming young children as they pinched coins between their not-so-tender-anymore ass cheeks.

He wrote a letter to newschoolers announcing his retirement more or less so if you look in the news archives you could probably find it. It was actually really cool of him. Hes a good guy.
