Congratulations to Ken for the milestone.
More important than a 'number' is our appreciation of his outpost with "PuristS" principles at our easternmost "office".

I send a colourful 'HAPPY' photo to celebrate..

Congratulations, Ken and thanks for your contribution, support, consistency and hard work on our behalf. The site wouldn't be the same without you. I particularly love the reports from Japan, the local collectors and even the occasional F.P.Journe. Thanks...
