I'll meet him one of these days...we don't live far apart! Thanks for the glowing report...

 

[Trius]

Well gosh ... It was great to meet you too, John, and your beautiful family. We also had the company of the truly great and gracious Larry Towell today.

And thanks for the beers, mate. We will have to get together again before you take off again for Nigeria.

Mabel aka John -- one of these days we'll connect. I'll try and make it down to Ithaca.

Earl is one of the blokes on this forum that I would dearly like to meet one day ... I think you're very lucky to have done so. 🙂

We're lucky to have Earl as part of our Greater Toronto Area (GTA) group.

Actually, there are a bunch of great people in this group!

Hopefully if Earl makes it up to Superior next year he'll stop by the Soo for a meet 😀

 

[back alley]

is earl still charging a speaking fee?

😉

Duke of Earl?

I have had his XA-4 for a while now, I am afraid to use for fear rubbing off the essence! Maybe one day I'll auction it and retire! 😀

 

[ZeissFan]

If that's the Earl with whom I've corresponded, then he's one fine fellow. And if it's a different Earl, then it still sounds like he's a fine fellow.

 

[Trius]

Joe: the only speaking fee until now has been the one my wife (grudgingly) pays me to shut my mouth. But now that you mention it ...

gdi: USE that XA4!

I'm far away from film processing and scanning right now, but once I can get to it I'll start a thread with snaps from the weekend. John and I spent the weekend enjoying the Home County Folk Festval in London, ON.

Earl is one of the good guys. One of these days our paths will cross for real.

I met Bert Hardy and Alfred Eisenstaedt on the same day; not bad at all.
