Hi Don,

Right on absolutely time after time. Not to mention when one travels across North America or the rest of the planet there are folks who will give you a hand and or direction to help send you along the way to a successful shoot.

And yep on occasion we rip at each other like a howling p
ack of mad dogs that goes with the life and times of the internet unfortunately. But this is the best damn internet family one can have for making true friends and family!!

An unnfortunate medical sitation arose while I'm here in Scottsdale / Phoenix, Arizona and a LUG family member came to my rescue, Dr. Steve Barbour had me looked after right smartly and things are cool now. Unfortunately we've had to cut asssignment and R&R time short and return home a week earlier.

But this assistance points up the value of this tight nit group of human beings far more than many realize. And to that end it's a great big thank you to Brian Reid for creating this incredible system.

And without question a huge thanks to Dr. Steve Barbour for finding and arranging some special care without any fuss or muss.

Thanks Steve.
