[Leica] Leica Curse

[photo.philippe.amard at gmail.com (Philippe)]

Hi Howard !!!!

This is great news !

A belated HBD to you, of course !

Now about the curse, there ain?t any, you?re not doomed, the camera will be 
repaired, swapped for another, etc. 
Leica wouldn?t be Leica if they acted as foolish brands such ans N?n , C?n 
or F? (no ck please) do. 

I am so happy you?re so unexpectedly surfacing like this :-)
And I had been wondering about your whereabouts, your health mainly too of 
course.

Amities, to be shared with Esther


Philippe
