Don represents a tremendous asset to the LUG as well as to the larger fraternity of American Leica owners and collectors. While we, as members of this forum and users of this equipment, frequently see Leica as larger-than-life, the reality is that these objects of our fancy represent but the smallest fraction of mainstream 35mm equipment purchases (and we as users, the smallest group) in the country. Owing to this and the fact that collectors are a significant number of our ranks, it behooves us to cultivate positive relationships between and among us as users. Don is a very important part of our Leica community. He has a treasure trove of knowledge and experience. He is able to share this wisdom with the rest of us. He is able to sell us the finest of this equipment - new and used. I'm not quite sure what the reasons against his membership are since no one has come forward to explain them. I sincerely believe that that which he is able to share with us is far more useful than much of the drivel I see around here from time to time. Quite frankly, I think I'd PAY to have him as an active participant on the list (and also couldn't care less if he posted all of his offerings to us).
