Re: Some *good* news, BTW
Don, is definately one of the good guys. I first met him at Wolf Camera in Charlotte. When I joined this list and Bill Owen invited me to GFM, getting me together with Don. I realized that I already knew "Don't give my name to anybody, I am too busy; but you can call me anytime" Don. Few people have been as kind and helpful to me as Don. I wish him the best, always. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" --- Doug Brewer wrote: I've sent my congrats and well wishes to Don, but I'm glad to offer more here. You know, if I had not met Don at Spartanburg Camera lo these many years ago, the PDML would not exist as it does now, the gatherings at GFM would not have happened, and many of the friendships we have formed would not have formed, so Don, for these and so many other reasons, will always be my brother. I think of him several times a day, and consider myself honored to be able to call him my friend.

Looking forward to seeing him at the mountain in June. How 'bout the rest of you?

Re: Some *good* news, BTW
Definitely good news! I've known Don since 1971 or so, when I owned a camera shop and Don was my Nikon rep. Yes, he used to work for the dreaded N camera!! He's one of the good guys in the photo industry and I wish him the very best.

Re: Some *good* news, BTW
Congrats to Don! I would =really= like to get to GFM. It depends upon when my son's high school graduation is, though, and the school hasn't planned that far ahead yet.

Re: Some *good* news, BTW
That is great news! He is such a nice, deserving individual. I hope to get back to GFM this next year. Don enabled me at the mountain by loaning me his personal DA 16-45 for several hours. As soon as I got back, I had to buy my own. -- Bruce Friday, October 7, 2005, 7:39:07 AM, you wrote: MR> Grandfather Mountain photomeister Don Nelson finished his chemotherapy MR> for Hodgkin's Lymphoma a couple of weeks ago.
