Young Mr Norwood's portrait on the most famous "Red Balloon" website is now about 8 years old.
This calls for a celebration !

In celebration, I hereby invite Mr. Hauberg to come and visit me and take a new picture of me that doesn't suck horribly (like most pictures that are taken of me). I'll show him a very nice IB print of the movie, too.

Let me know when he comes, I'll provide the martini's. [Smile]

Gentlemen -

Thank You so much for Your kind replies. Unfortunately, I have just - two months ago - received my new FP30D. This, together with the DP70's will not be worn out for the first 20 years (got that, Brad), which gives no excuse for taking a day or two of for travelling. I will therefore have to ask You to please let the invitation stand open until august, 2023, when retirement may be more actual (The FP being worn out and the DPs so much down in price, that someone can afford to buy them, --and the possibility of going more than two miles from city limits of Malling will occur.

With the utmost respect and our sincere congratulations !

P.s.: Mrs Hauberg just passed the pc, throwing in a remark of my picture at the left. -I'm afraid, it's 23 years and at least 50 pounds ago. [Eek!]
