It's done. As of today, Kevin and I are both officially retired, he from his paid position and I from volunteering. Although I don't have as many years of service to my credit because there was a large gap between my days at Carbon River and my time at Longmire, I got my start with Park Service quite a bit earlier than he did. In total, I volunteered for a little over 15 years, and recently received a new "Meritorious Service" award. I will probably continue to work on volunteer projects such as the annual geocaching CITO event, but as a member of the public. Kevin plans to volunteer as well. And the Park and my Parkie family will be a part of my heart forever.
