[Leica] SF dinner with Hoppies et al

[pmcc_2000 at yahoo.com (pmcc)]

Hoppy,

Crikey, you mean it was a boat?  I thought it was me going all weak in the

your visit to California and environs!  Great to meet you and your lovely 
family under pleasantly distracting circumstances off coastal SF.

Peter.
SF, CA
