Hope the next 25 are just as rewarding! It is all that much better to be able to share it with friends.

And through that online friendship we eventually have face to face warm meet and greet's. Which surprise of surprises, evolves to warm personal friendships. Last evening we, my wife Irene and myself had an absolutely wonderful time celebrating our 75th birthday's, her's yesterday and mine to-morrow with folks, if not for Brian Reid and his LUG we'd have never met. And what a loss not to have met! We began celebrating this wonderful age we've reached late afternoon with Tom & Tullikki Abrahamson, David & Rose Young, Dr.Joseph Yao from Hong Kong, Jim & Arlene Baker from Scottsdale. Who arrived at our home for a Happy Birthday get to-gether, then we retired to a Japanese restaurant for a Happy Birthday dinner. It was wild, Leica's of vintage to latest Digilux II's were clicking or silently snapping away in every direction, best Happy Birthday celebration I can recall! :-) And all Leica recorded! :-) And it's Brian Reid's LUG, for all it's good, bad and ugly moments at times when the inmates run the place, this wonderful celebratory moment in time would not have happened. So Brian, although you didn't attend I want to thank you for making it possible for so many others to gain such wonderful friendships as these folks. And so many others who've touched my life over the past 1/2 dozen years. Heck reaching 75 is a wonderful time to realize, "Damn I made it this far with so many incredible moments and it's only 3/4's of a century! :-) Man the last 1/4 is going to be a mind blower if the first part is any indication! :-) The goal now is to make it to the really, really "big 100!" That my friends isn't much time with so many things to do while still clicking away! Damn don't you just love it when a life has evolved so wonderfully you want more of the same? :-) Bring it on! To make 100 is going to be monumental, but staying cool, keeping busy and doing many of the things I didn't have time for getting to this point! :-) Why it'll be a piece of cake :-) So we're both looking forward to making it to the 100 percent century! :-) Just thought you folks might like to know of a nice moment shared with friends in our Leica lives. :-) ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
