[Leica] hoppy and the floodwaters

[daniel at dlridings.se (Daniel Ridings)]

Geoff, I just heard about the 13 year old who was in the car with his
little brother and his mother. He made the rescuers take his little
brother first. Before they could get back to him and his mother, the
water swept the car away and he and his mother perished.

The older I get, the more I cry.
