As you may have read, our little community raised more than $90,000 for the fight against cancer. An interesting thing happened the day after the Relay. I was invited to a Couchon du Lait, (A Louisiana traditional Pork roast.) I got into a conversation with a friend, who told me this story about her husband. It seems that he came down with Hodgkin's Disease, a lymphatic Cancer, and they had struggled for most of the past year with treatment, and now he is in remission. I won't go into the whole story, but there are many of you who have been touched by this, either yourselves or a friend or someone you love, so many of you get the picture. Which brings me to this. The Picture. I tried several sniping shots, (candids) but they just were not working. So I noticed his daughter kept running up, and I said, "I need to get a shot of you two together." Her mom said she should take the pretzel out of her mouth; I over-ruled Mom. Anyhow here is the portrait I took of Mark and his daughter. I hope he lives a hundred years. http://www.sonc.com/relay/mark.htm Regards, SonC (Sonny Carter) http://www.sonc.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
