One wonders if his withdrawal is the result of something other than the lack 
of stations to work.

I've been a CW operator for 55 years, as a boy scout, a licensed Amateur, 
and as a profession.  While the call signs have changed over the years, I've 
found no lack of old friends and new ones on the bands.  The magic 
continues.
