[Leica] AN UPDATER FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Susan Ryan]

Ditto all that Steve said! I would love to send you a photo a week (or as often as I have one good enough for you to critique)!

Meeting you at your home a few years ago has remained one of the high points of my life! 

Here's to both of us 'staying vertical'!

> Hi Ted, thank you.   I must say I hope your stay in a seniors place will very likely be very good for you and will work out well. When I heard the news I felt it is for the best, for physical rehab, and it might help put you in touch with many top notch people like yourself.  Please let us know how you are getting on. I know you are not happy with all this, but, at 88yo you have had a terrific life, and the  good news is,  you are vertical.  We love you, you are a great man, Tara and I think so very highly of you, we think of you each and every day,
