[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Ted, There once was a time (when I was in HS and the US was bombing Cambodia, Viet Nam, etc) that I said I was not proud to be an American (OKAY that meant a person from the USA). I feel better (with major qualification) about that now. Nonetheless, I have been spending time in Canada since the early sixties. Last fall, my father and I purchased a couple acres in your fine country. I keep asking my friends in Canada, can I call myself a Canadian now? Keith PS I promise to keep taking pictures in this wonderful place using German equipment (perhaps even a Canadian mgf lens as well). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Douglas M.
