Thanks Piers! I'm never far from the list, but I haven't had much time
with the cameras lately, and my stuff is all old, except for the EM-1iii
that showed up a couple weeks ago. A year ago I was heavily involved in
eldercare. Mom passed away last October and I was involved in getting her
condo cleared out, etc.
We need a better term than alumni for our dearly departed. "Pantheon"
comes to mind for those who have joined Maitani. "Olympians." What do you
think? I think you have a classical education, no?
I was poking around in the archives and discovered some idle question I'd
asked Chuck that got him going. I met him in the flesh one rainy night in
Grinnell, Iowa, with AG presiding over pizza. He didn't say too much, but
he laughed a lot. His 5Dmkii was the first I had seen outside the trade
magazines. I think he met up with others on that trip. Moose, perhaps?
