Chris,

Hey, you are! I'm not sure of Fleetwood's age, but he has some gray hair. 
When I was your age, the measure of a guy's photo expertise was the length 
of his tele, and only Japanese tourists had f/1.2 lenses. When I was 26, my 
major professor (who looks like Ed Asner) had two Leicas, but nobody else I 
know did (I now own them both). You're...precocious.

Yeah, Ray really lost it and liquidated all of his Leica and Bessa stuff 
for Contax G, poor bastard. I haven't heard from him since. Kind of like 
that Bizarro-Jerry Seinfeld episode.
