[Leica] IMG: Skipper and Smiling Selfie

[Jim Nichols]

I appreciate the pep talk, Ted.  The thing that keeps me getting up and 
moving is taking and processing images.  I found two more obituaries 
this week of people who I knew in years past.  One was much younger than 
me, and once thought about trying for my job when I retired.  The fellow 
who did fill my job when I retired died some time ago.

So, if working with photos can keep me going, I'm all for it.  I can 
pull up my LUG Gallery on my iPhone and share the photos with friends.  
If some of them happen to be women friends, that's fine, too.  It's 
better than etchings, in this modern, connected world.
