[QUOTE="GeoWes, post: 555777, member: 14491"] Howdy folks. I’ve been away for quite a while and have to say that I’ve missed the forum. A lot of drama in my life the past few years. I nearly lost my wife three times in as many years and have been chasing my tail trying to keep the household and the business going. Life in Ca. was beginning to get absurd and downright dangerous so I decided to close down, pack up and move out. We sold in Vallejo and moved to a small town in north central Iowa (not too far from 480sparky.) Now we own our home with no mortgage and are debt free for the moment. I’ve been concentrating on getting my wife’s health back up, though we’ve just been handed a small setback with a diagnosis of melanoma. We’ll be up to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Mn. for evaluation on the 24[SUP]th[/SUP], and getting surgery scheduled. Photography wise, I haven’t been doing a lot, but with the nicer weather coming in I think that can change pretty soon. Mostly just shooting family gatherings, local parades and flowers; I do have a functional studio set up but haven’t used it much, yet. I’ll resurrect the Back Ally Photo Gallery and start posting something again. [/QUOTE]
