Hello from the Canadian Rockies

**Canada_Rockies** · 11-07-2007, 10:37 PM

My wife of 42 years and myself live in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, 16 km (10 mi) from Alberta and 55 miles (90 km) from Montana, in a small town called Sparwood. We enjoy trailering to parks, taking photos, hiking, and generally enjoying ourselves.

My other major (expensive) hobby is playing classical organ. I own a small 2 manual and pedal Johannus digital organ.

I have been a Pentaxian since 1960, when I bought a Pentax in a pawn shop in Vancouver, BC with a 55/2.2 lens. Added a 135/3.5 later, changed for a KX when the shutters wore out, bought an SF-1 because I wanted a winder for sports and could not afford an LX, bought an ME and FA 28-80 when my wife went biking with our daughter for 2 months in Europe. I bought the MZ-S and 24-90 when I lost the SF-1 to my wife. I guess I should never have left it at home while working in Chicago.

I was classed as a Die-Hard Pentaxian when I filled in the blanks on the web site.

Welcome to the board "Rocky". I'm sure you'll enjoy it here and you will find there are a few people from your area.

Perhaps a get-together one of these days!!!

Hi Canadian Rockies

We're sort of neighbors... living just down the coast a ways in Oregon. We love to visit BC. Welcome to the forum.
