Whew! I have to tell you when the BLUG do a Bash, they do a Bash! No wonder the Boston Tea Party changed the course of the western world, I have to tell you those "Bean Towners are the best!" :-) Smoked salmon, lots of goodies, excellent single malt scotch, fine wines and comfortable beds! Hell of a good party with Leicas, pictures and people all over the place! Once again I've enjoyed a face to face encounter with "real LUG people." The warmth of a hand shake and the smile of a human being I've only known as a name on the screen. It truly is an interesting event to have written someone for years, shared their lives as though we were lifelong buddies merely through postings on a computer screen, then all of a sudden here they are in real life! To those who attended may I offer my heartfelt thank you for coming along to the home of B.D. & Sara Colen so we could share a handshake we may never do again. And if that is the case, at least when we read the LUG we do so with a face on the screen and not just a name. And realize there truly is a friend on the other side of that glass! To B.D. & Sarah a very big thank you for sharing your home and hospitality with the crew allowing for a warm location to gab away to our hearts content about things Leica and photography. Theses kinds of get togethers can only strengthen our resolve to keep the LUG conversation alive and well........................ Oh yeah and "on topic!" ; - ) ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
