It was a pleasure meeting you a few years ago with a few other WPS regulars, including some mainstays as well as one or two who have moved on. The picture is indeed of my daughter, painted by Serge Gomez, a French painter who I consider a friend but who unfortunately passed away in 2020 (non-covid...he was in his 80s). It has been a true pleasure to be part of this community for over 15 years. I don't post as much as many, but I lurk here often -- close to daily. This site has been a haven, espe

I believe you flew in for that get-together/dinner in Newport Beach.

I thought we had met, but since I wasn't certain and it had been a long time ago... Altogether, it's a good excuse to meet again!
