Subject: [Leica] Happy Birthday Gordon Parks

I called Gordon Parks to wish him a Happy 92nd Birthday yesterday.  He 
sounded great.  He said he is working on two books now.  One is a book 
of poetry with new photographs.   He is still full of ideas and plans 
for things he want to do in his life!  This is a man who never finished 
high school and at the age of 78, bought his first computer, taught 
himself Word Perfect and wrote his 16th book.  When a friend tells me 
they are too old to learn a computer now, I tell them about Gordon Parks.

He is the most amazing person I know! I am proud to call him my friend.
