Re: [Leica] FOM2 year 2

[Ted Grant <tedgrant@shaw.ca>]

Hi Alastair,
Here's to a job well done keeping it going and on track, a lesser person
might've dumped it long a go. good on you lad! :-)

Now this year it appears the judges really have their work cut out, as on a
surface glance it's going to be difficult in the keeper selection.

Actually maybe not, because the quality level appears to be much higher,
therefore the non keepers will be obvious compared to last year where the
overall level wasn't quite to the standard we see here.

Once again a big thank you for starting the FOM 11 project and the patients
and fortitude to keep it going. Maybe the third year wont be so tough
getting submissions due to the quality wen see and that it's moving right
along going beyond the half way mark .

Thank you for all your effort and that of the Aussie crew with you.
kindest regards,
ted
