PJ, I met Eric as he was winding down his career in camera repair. He was in west suburban Chicago working part-time(?) in a business he sold(?). I'd take my old Pentax gear to him in the mornings before work. He 'retired' to Tennessee, but still does cameras when the farm(?) allows. Nice guy, maybe your age? Regards, Bob S.
