[Leica] Re: The Character

[Jim Brick <jim@brick.org>]

Hi Oddmund,

I welcome you back to the LUG. As you know, there are many of us who
remember the various confrontations a year or so ago. Maybe not
confrontations, maybe strong differences of opinions. But that's OK.

What happened to your Contax TVS which you used to rave about?

And we would really like to hear about what you have been doing,
photographically, over during your absence.

You obviously are aware that your reputation proceeded you. And everyone
expects you to live up to it... ;-)

Again, welcome back.

Jim (no longer using uranium toner) Brick
