2001

In a letter, Dennie defended the stamp issues as beneficial publicity for the country and philately in general:"' . . . We can only surmise that the intentions of your groups are self-serving and with utter disregard of what will happen to our beautiful hobby if your scheme to scare away new collectors succeeds. But, then, you must know that as a sovereign nation we claim the right to the policy of issuing our stamps and should not be dictated to in this regard.'"Dennie retired in 2001, and later moved to Sion Hill Bay.

He experienced vision loss in his eighties.
