You started a home for many of us in the turmoil that is photography today. I have been a member for many years even though I may have left for a couple of short periods. This place to me is like a family which I am honoured to be part of. This came home to me when I wrote to say I was no longer using Leica equipment and was told that my spirit was still 'Leica-esque' and I was still welcome as a member. So, whilst writing, I want to says big 'Thank You' to the other members of this family that I have been lucky enough to know over my time here, and a special thank you to those who I have met in person over the years. We should have a party but that may be difficult, so a quick toast at an appropriate time seems essential.
