[Leica] "ORDER of CANADA" awarded! ;-)

[Richard Taylor]

Ted - I want to add my own congratulations to those you've already received.   I feel honored to have known you through all those years of the Cape Cod Leica meetings and to have had the benefit of your comments on the work we presented.   

Many thanks and I hope every second of the award ceremony is an absolute delight. 

Dick
