I had been a member of the LUG from ~1997 - 2006 (I had contributed towards a members' pool to buy an M8 for Brian Reid), and it is great to see so many familiar participants -- specially Ted Grant, who, the last time I was here, had been selling off his kit, so I have been surprised and heartened to see that he is still actively making pictures and participating (I still remember that picture of Trudeau sliding down the bannister and his marvellous story about it!). I'll have to participate more actively, now, to get re-acquainted with everyone -- A U S T I N .
