There wasn't a kettle in his living quarters so he could make himself a cup of tea after his over 24 hours of travelling.!:-) "yeh I'm going out to buy a kettle as I brought my own tea!" :-) Yep that's my son! A first class young fellow and an all round first class human being! And a "FIRST CLASS PHOTOGRAPHER!" OK so I'm a tad bias! :-) But he, without question, is one damn fine photographer. Hopefully I'll have a few frames to put on the LUG fom the para-Olympis once they begin shortly. cheers, ted <images at comporium.net> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2014 5:43 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] SOCHI PARA-OLYMPICS 2014 > Ted - > > I'm sure Scott will be fine but prayers are headed that way.
