A good time was had by all. Smashing meet, really, even if Fuji did outnumber
Oly 3 to 1.
The laughter was rather infectious all afternoon as we just couldn't seem to
stop. I believe Chris's wife, Julia, was a principal instigator.
The anthropological element was particularly interesting, in that at the first,
the wives divided from the husbands and talked about whatever they were talking
about while the husbands talked about cameras and such. But the pure enjoyment
of the moment rather shortly thereafter drove a lot of the photography
discussion to the background and both genders interacted as though they'd known
one another almost forever. Well, I was getting pronunciation lessons. You
can't go to Scotland and expect to pronounce anything correctly. <g>
