I was at my mom's a couple weeks ago, and saw my grandfather's head tax 
form.

I am infinitely grateful that they endured their hardships so that my 
dad could come to Canada, and have me here.

Yes, I have many Leicas.  And food for my family.   And, time to enjoy 
my family.

I'm hopeful that Leica continues to be successful, in the niche that 
they've decided to occupy.

I also hope to impart a sense of responsibility, and work ethics to my 
two young sons, and hope that they appreciate all this camera gear that 
I will leave them.
