"What a privilege it was to spend a weekend with all of you! Thanks so much for the companionship as we continue to navigate the Leica journey we’ve embarked on and I feel like I’ve got a few new mates for life! Great tutoring by the Viking too, what a colorful life you, Joy and Robin lead - I loved immersing myself in it for a short stint. I look forward to staying in touch".
