[Leica] OFFLIST Thanks! PAW 52 dlridings

[dlridings at gmail.com (Daniel Ridings)]

Hi Ted,
I'm vain enough to be very heartened and flattered by your kind
remarks. A deep thank-you. I just take pictures, but I sure do enjoy
getting it right at times.

All the best to you and your family. May you have a prosperous year
ahead, prosperous meaning that you feel good about every day that goes
by. Making grand-children happy and sharing your experience with the
rest of us.

All the best,
Daniel
