Thank you Carl! :) I was lucky enough to have a Totally Awesome Teacher and Mentor, Mr. Lee Mann. Lee taught me so very much and I will be forever in his debt. May He Rest In Peace! Someday we will meet again and resume taking photos together! :)

I am Lucky enough to have a pretty fair retirement plan for an income, plus my kids are grown and have kids of their own. :) Add that to living in the same house for 44 years with no mortgage helps. :)
