[Leica] Change of mind - unsubscribing

[geneduprey2015 at gmail.com]

Gerry, Great news that you are staying with our family.  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
