Dear Kathleen, Your departure from Mozilla marks the end of an era, but also heralds the beginning of a well-deserved retirement. Reflecting on your 16-year journey overseeing Mozilla's root store, it's clear that your impact has been profound and your dedication unwavering.
As you embark on this new chapter of your life, may your retirement be filled with the joy of fewer responsibilities and the adventures of travel. Your presence will be missed, but your influence will continue to resonate within the Mozilla community and beyond. Wishing you all the happiness and fulfillment in your well-deserved retirement.
