Hi Harrison,

Nice to have a little history lesson on the side once in a while. :) thanks.

There are some folks on the LUG who don't understand what this has to do
with Leica and don't want to have any "extra curricular" posts of this
nature.

However, that's a shame, as quite often it's the extra tid bits that makes
this a far more interesting communicating site than just doin the Leica
thing.

Besides, often one "off topic" moment can put quite incredible Leica spins
to following stories.

just a passing thought after all the heavy stuff on sales pitches! :)

Question?  Didn't Teddy Roosevelt have some pretty good wing dings ? :)
