[Leica] IMG: Late Night Patterns

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Hi Ted,

Thanks so much for those very kind words. But I have to give credit  
to my LUG friends as well. You are all such good teachers. They look  
for a photo opportunity. And snap. I'm starting to see things I never  
saw before. And snap. This is quite a group.

Thanks again, and have a great holiday season.
Len
