Make matters worse, the free spirited buoyancy and playful rough and tumble spill over of simply being myself gradually became threatening as coarse sandpaper against the protruding egos of a few gentle souls (w/privileged access to Red's good ear). Situation analysis: gb's curiosity value outlived its usefulness; continued presence became problematical, because it militated against achievement of TSM's short term 'increase our headcount' goal; revocation of club membership became an inevitable imperative.
Were you being disruptive?
Professional respect for Red continues intact. Appreciation of his RHP stature and personal affection for him are unchanged. We remain friends. I'm still grateful for the opportunities of conversation and chess games with many club members. By the way, please know the departure was accomplished quietly and that I made it a point to tidy up my old locker before leaving.

My wife and i do a lot of hiking in the woods. I like to look at the big picture. Can't wait to get around the next corner, then the next etc. My wife is so content to observe the foot print of single ant on the sandbar next to a creek. Did i marry the reincarnation of Thoreau ?
GRANNY.
Thoreau's Walden Pond cabin site several times, long before becoming grampy.
