Title: Hello All
Post by: pmueller@mit.edu on October 28, 2017, 04:08:50

Hello All,

What seems like a long time ago, I used to be a "gold member" of the original NikonGear forum and I was the winner of the first "Chairman's Challenge".  When Dallas took the forum commercial, my access was reduced significantly and I lost interest.  The loss of  access to Bjørn Rørslett's insightful comments and reviews was the biggest disadvantage of that situation.  Luckily, I just found out by chance that already over two years ago, this revival forum has constituted itself and that Bjørn is "on board", if the pun is excusable. 

So, here I am again, looking forward to some interesting and stimulating interactions.

Peter Mueller

Hello Peter!

I have visited a lot of forum people (Damian, Bill, missed Schwett, Gary, Keith, ... did I forget someone?) on the West Coast exactly one year ago.

You are on the East coast where currently autumnal colors should hit New England. I have never been to the East coast and I am looking forward to 2025 when Trump has to finally leave office and America will be a free again (hopefully).

Then I plan to vistit again.

Welcome back!

Frank

Hi Frank,

Yes, New England is beautiful right now.  I took the the picture below a couple of weeks ago in upstate New York. 

I hope we'll be free again before 2025.  Maybe even before 2020.  Let me know when you come to visit and we'll get together.

Cheers,

Peter

I grew up not too far away from Bonn: In Frankenthal am Rhein, which is just a bit north of Mannheim.
