[Leica] Just for the record

Herbert,

First at all congratulations for yours ninety! I'm 68 and I've never  
do exercise, I dislike ..., the only thing I do is walk when I go to  
take some shots. I think that if a person that have never do regular  
exercise, if he does it ... could be worst and for the moment I'm in  
form for what I need to do.

cheers
Lluis
