And in particular a great big Good on Geoff for having a shot at, I'm not going to say for "EDITING" the book as he doesn't say who's photos are in nor out. Bottom line ????? He is the "central spot to collect the photographs." That's it! Only decision as I understand is..... "He picks the cover!" Big deal! ;-) "WHOOP-TEE-DO WOW!" So big deal? As that's basically identical as Jim, God Bless him for keeping the book alive for 8 editions! My goodness if it weren't for Jim and his tenacity each year to make it happen! 99% of you never ever ever and not likely ever will be published people would still be un-published, let alone in a book? LUG BOOK?:-) One second please? Take a moment and re-call your personal feelings when your copy each year arrived and you couldn't open the package and book fast enough? You flipped pages like crazy.... "looking for your two!" :-) And "WOW!" COOL WHEN YOU FOUND THEM? Yeah I know even with my numbers of published books I did the same thing. There they were, I smiled, ran my finger tips over them, looked at the cover and back to my pages! And felt so dang nice in my belly because.. "Hey my pictures! Cool man!" Then to cover and flipped from cover to cover admiring the LUG family photographs published one more year again! Good stuff! :-) Our book Leader and put together BOSS, Jim Schulman, the "Mighty Good Chap" has retired, actually fed-up with diatribe each fall due to some blockheads! Yeah you guys know who you are! So Jim moves on. We'll still be looking for your always humorous photos on the screen Jim, please keep them coming. Thank you most sincerely. NEW BOSS-MAN? :-) Holy cow more babblefesting than deciding date for the first guys to go to the Moon! Read my lips! NOTHING CHANGED! It's still two photos in by a certain date. Use a camera, a Leica would be nice or parts of one. If not? IT'S NO BIG DEAL! GET OVER IT! We all are in our hearts and some with non-failing minds? Recall our elation the first time we had a Leica, new? in our hands? Remember those incredible emotions? Love them still with a great passion! Today? Use whatever camera life has dealt you as of today and get yer buns out the door and shoot a couple of cool happy snaps! That's it. SAVE and SEND in 11 months and yer laughing all the way to the 2014 book! :-) Dang so simple! :-) And no one need open their mouths as all yer "over imaginative mental conditions?" will be gone! Oh yeah until 2015!! And for some of you ? We'll have to explain this all over once again! ;-) Have a great year and I look forward to your always love them HAPPY-SNAPS because truly.... we are all equal happy-snappers in heart. cheers & God Bless! Dr. ted :-)
