Thank yuo all guys, your help is immence. My story of SF is quite unusual. I was visiting CA and SF about two years ago on my business trip to Santa Clara. Plannign ahead I knew I'll had about half day off towards the end of the trip. At that time I was Minolta shooter and quite active Minolta List member. I got hooked up with another List emmber who happened to live in that area. His name was George Wallace (yeah, gthe inventor of ExpoDisc) from Montain View. We met in Sannyvale where I was staying and drove up to SF. What I can say, I cnosider my self as a lucky guy meeting such wonderful person, one of this guys with rare personaltiy. He was age of 80 or even over. This day is one of the highlights of my life. IN quite restricted time slot he showed me the beauty of the city and took me to some place beneath the Golden Gate wheer no turist can get to without local knoledge to experience all the gorgous views to the bridge. It was amazing. I was wondering that train wagon (forgot its name - famous attraction of SF). At our way back to Sannyvale I gave him a ride to the train station over there and as I still remember that clearly that was the most touching moment of my life: once the train "took off" Goerge suddenly jumped off and rushed back to me, embraced me and gave me his own ExpoDisc as a gift. At that moment I noticed a few drops of tears in his eyes. You can imagine me left standing alone on the platform so touched deeply long after the train gone... This night I was flying back to Israel. Then, a few months later I got an email of the grief from his family (I also happened to met his older daughter - she gave him a ride to my hotel) that George has passed away...that was my time cry ... Hope I didn't take too much traffic on the List with my story... regards, Alex __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
