Hi Steve and Andy,
I’m sure there are more Leica users of whatever model camera that
have never met face to face, hand shake to hand shake, than those
who have.
Those who’ve been online many years and lived through the ups,
downs, trials and tribulations, successes, births & deaths and
everything else that effects our daily family lives, it’s quite an
amazing group of human beings. We are something like brothers and
sisters, a bonded group through our cameras and computer screens as
Leica camera members of a crew.
My good fortune? I’ve met face to face many of the crew! I’ve
actually, my wife and I, have become personal friends with a number,
visi ted their homes and them ours.
Sure some folks do not care for, nor want to go beyond the screen
text or JPEG image, that’s fine.
But there are those whom a face to face meet and greet is such an
immediate “friend recognition” when we first meet that is wonderful!
I would say for those who’ve never had the experience, it is a nice
feel good moment!
It is a greeting of, not strangers, but between friends whom you
feel you’ve known for many years, just never seen them face to face,
hand shake to hand shake!
Maybe some day more of us will meet and enjoy the warm hand shake of
friendship and gab fest that is such a wonderful moment of “friends!”

Andy and I met for the first time, we felt like old friends...he's
terrific, we had a great dinner and conversation, it was hard to end
the evening...
he says that my photo of him should have taken off a few years, but
he's a lot younger than me, good for him...I guess he said that if my
M8 quits soon, I can send him the bill... :-)
we said it would be fun to have a get together of this group, so we
may bring it up again...
take care Andy,
Steve
