When I was a young lad of about 6 or 7, my father (a pretty serious amateur
photographer) struck up a friendship with a German couple. An unlikely turn
of evens found our entire family flying in my dads Twin Cessna from Winnipeg
Manitoba to Reno, Nevada. A horrible thunderstorm forced us to land in Walla
Walla, Washington, not before, however, I became airsick in the nearest
available "reservoir" - a canvas bag full of Leica equipment.

This was 1975, so, I'm betting there was a M3 or M4 or two in there.

Oh, FYI - I had been eating macaroni and cheese.
