I remember that day when Greg told Chris and I that your wife had passed. We had just met her just a few days before, and enjoyed getting to know both of you. I have followed you closely ever since, and while mostly lurking here on the LUG the past few years, I am still honored to be a part of this family group. I have met in person many of the group, including Lluis , Ted and many others. Thanks for staying around, Gene Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 3, 2018, at 8:04 AM, Tina Manley via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> > wrote: > > +1! :-) > > Tina > >> On Mon, Sep 3, 2018 at 8:18 AM, Douglas Barry <imra at iol.ie> wrote: >> >> Me leica that news too... >> >> Douglas >> Waaaayyy behind on Eireann's Green Isle >> >> >>> On 03/09/2018 12:31, Philippe via LUG wrote: >>> >>> No Gerryxit is excellent news :-) >>> >>> Happy you?re still on and kicking. >>> >>> Amities >>> >>> Philippe >>> >>> >>> >>> Le 3 sept. 2018 ? 07:32, Gerry Walden via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> a >>>> ?crit : >>>> >>>> I have been deeply touched by the very kind messages following my >>>> announcement that I was unsubscribing.
