This just came in:

The purpose of this email is to advise you that I will be retiring from
the Sheriff's Department effective March 31, 2010.

You are a great group of folks and it has been an honor and privilege to
have served with you as part of the LASD family.

Thank you for allowing me to share this part of my life with you.

Sincerely,

CAPTAIN ROOSEVELT BLOW
ALTADENA SHERIFF'S STATION

more to come …
