Re: [Leica] M6 influence

Hi Erin,

Many thanks for the post about your dad and his M6. Most of us here wish
you well in getting an M6 someday yourself and if it happens and we're all
still around, you ask and we'll help you with the answers if we can.

Always nice to know there are young folks like yourself out there
interested in photography and good equipment.  Stick with it, as you'll
have or can have, many wonderful photo experiences throughout your life.

regards,

ted
