Re: [Leica] Rules of the Group

Thanks, Ted, for the encouragement.  And, yes, I will let you know if I
am coming your way.  Thanks.

BTW,  should you decide to come down our way you will no doubt have to
pass through my area -- so anytime you are near Gig Harbor, let me know,
too.  It is a beautiful place to photograph.
