B.D.,

First, congratulations !
Second, my regrets.  I would have enjoyed taking this opportunity 
to perhaps see you and other Boston area Lugers.  Unfortunately I 
will be in Montreal.  Skateboard photography sounds very, very 
interesting, though I do not suppose Ben uses Leica M for this 
purpose.
