Thanks Jim, I do sort of drop in and out from time to time to see if Ted is still alive and kickin' : ) I've heard he'll probably outlive us all... (although I hope not... I'm not even 40 yet) I've have been way too busy to contribute much... and I'm also not shooting much with the Leicas or on film period these days as everything I'm shooting is digital... and archiving and organizing digital file is time consuming..... Slides were way easier to manage. I am half tempted to sell my Leicas to someone who will use them.... half tempted to hang on to them for sentimental reasons. Something I'm sure many feel torn between. Sorry to hear about your dad passing away, Sonny. Sounds like he was great dad.
