I too think that it would be wonderful if we as a group rewarded Brian for all his work, to say nothing of expense, in starting and supporting the LUG. I would like to suggest that instead of sending Brian money, which could be embarrassing, we instead buy him an M6 ouselves. I would be happy to coordinate such an effort in the US. I don't know the exact mechanism for doing this-special bank account? I realize none of you really know me, but I am honest and trustworthy and certainly would not do anything to jeopardize my good standing on the LUG. I'm sure something can be set up to protect everyone involved. Any bankers out there? If there is enough interest in this, Ted suggested contacting Leica to see if they might be willing to sell us a camera at a better price-I think that's worth a try. Brian, I hope you are taking all of this in the spirit it is intended. We are very appreciative of everything you have done for us. I feel that you have created what almost amounts to a family out of a group of total strangers from all over the world. THANK YOU!! Now if we can only get your address... Richard Wasserman
