That was just my impression of the setting, Walt, plus it looked and felt
like John's work. If not, then so be it and my compliment goes to another
one of our very good photographers on the list.
As for where John is: I sent an email to him recently and have not received
a reply, which leads me to believe he's on vacation or away on business or
something. We'll see. I'd hate to think he's abandoned the list! As you
rightly point out his contributions have always been valuable.
His permanent loss would be sorely felt.
