dear sir, 

and it is madam, thank you.   i would have probably just traded cameras with 
the guy who said that,(temporarily);   especially if i felt strongly that the 
results were going to be so much greater.    while some people may resent 
your illustrious career, i am not one of them.    in fact, i am fascinated 
with people of achievement.
well, i am fascinated with people, period.   i guess i mean that i am not 
intimidated or resentful of your presence, but find you very interesting and 
respect your experience.   however,  old ways do not yield easily to new ways 
and when they 
do yield, we lose a lot of technical and scientific information in the 
process, i think.  
i find that very sad.   the launching pad gets smaller and smaller.  i don't 
understand 
why we can't at least preserve the science of the old even after we have come 
up 
with more spontaneous and expedient technology.  sometimes we do not 
understand that a person who is rejecting our idea is not necessarily 
rejecting us.  
e.e. cummings?  gosh i haven't read him since high school.  will have to look 
him up again.  was just trying to whisper and speak without authority.  what 
you did worked and that is what i go for--whatever is effective.  if you had 
done something 
else, you may have been booted out and never gained all this wonderful 
experience that you are now sharing with us.  so when did you finally get a 
chance 
to use that wonderful camera of yours?  and thank you for giving me this 
vehicle. 
i think i shall never capitalize again! you are charming!
