I'll second that motion, John -
I first met Roger – and Barbara – when my daughter Cindy and I stayed at THE (Shamrock) HOTEL & SHOPS in 2004. We got into a conversation about photography when I noticed he still had a couple of my old prints from the first full year of the C&TS on display, and he showed me the brand-new Panasonic FZ-30 he was learning to use — which inspired me to get an FZ-50 and later an FZ-100. Of course he is WAY beyond that now, and using his many years experience as a wildlife guide to full advantage whether tracking down critturs or steam locomotives.
Keep Up the Good Work, Roger and Barb!!
