Got back from the GFM Camera Clinic a few hours ago, and must report
that I had much fun. Saw several regulars like Cesar, Tom Reese, Bill
Owens and the lurkers, but also had the pleasure of meeting and talking
with our own Scott Loveless during his first visit to GFM. I trust
that, other than prolonged exposure to me, the weekend went well for him.
Oh, and I'm reasonably certain there is no truth to the rumor that
someone donned the absent Mark Roberts' Team Badge and endeavored to
offend as many attendees and regular mountain visitors as possible, in
creative and frequently profane ways.
ahem.
I got in at 10:30 PM. Return trip was two hours shorter than the trip down.
I too had lots of fun. Good programs (great job, thank you Don!). The
lecturers sure lead some interesting lives.
It was great seeing Doug, Nico, Cesar, Bill, Charles and Scott again.
I hope Cesar is okay. He spent the entire weekend with his tongue
dragging on the ground.
I want to extend a special thank you to Scott for the Heineken. They
sure hit the spot.
Nico, I'd like to hear about the results of your lens comparision
experiment.
Doug, thanks for the always interesting conversation. Hopefully, we'll
take a putt together sometime.
For everyone else, these various PDML get togethers are always a blast.
I urge you to make every effort to attend one in your area. The
Grandfather Mountain ones are very special. I can't wait for the NPW.
