Carl and Armenne are wonderful people, and the seminar is one of the best. Chris and I really had a great time last year. We could not attend this year due to other travel plans. But we were planning on attending next year, and now it appears, they may not have it either? A Great Loss. Loosing family members is a tough situation, and our hearts go out to Carl, and Armenne for their loss.

THE YEARS! Hi Tina, I received a phone call last evening from Arrmenne with her sounding extremely sad saying Carl had decided to cancel this year's Seminar. And it is extremely difficult for him to do so. The death of his younger brother a couple of weeks ago set him back big-time emotionally. Then there were some cancellations happening and not the usual 80 or so registries! The economic situation is affecting some folks.:-( As in any case, cancellations usually occur after we've applied the prep time in putting our programmes into hard copy ready to go. It's called "that's life !" :-( I felt very sad, nostalgic, sorry for Carl and Armenne as they've a long time putting this seminar on. And my memories came to the forefront . ... Considering I was a sort of "one man stand-up" Leica photography teacher whatever for 16 years in a row. Those Cape Cod Seminars were extra special as people went home well schooled in "PHOTOGRAPHY!" Usually wired to get home out shooting what they had learned with a huge level of enthusiasm. It was the new friends made each year and to see them again the next year... It evolved into a great family of friends and acquaintances!:-) Before they left on the last day, many signed up a year in advance to be sure they'd have a spot in the group the next year! I've met quite a number of LUG people, including yourself Tina, where we meet face to face in a wonderful atmosphere of photography, shooting from sunrise to sunset and presentations in-between! It was a time wasn't it? :-) I doubt there are few others as wonderful as the Leica International Cape Cod Photography Seminar! But like so many wonderful things there is the inevitable end! :-( To the many LUG folks who attended it was so neat to put faces and humans to the names on the screen each year. Thanks for your being part of the crew! cheers, ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tina Manley" <images at comporium.net> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Saturday, September 17, 2011 12:20 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] Dangers of Efficiency > Yes, I'm sorry about the deaths in his family, but I don't think Carl will > be up for having another seminar in the future.
