[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I am pleased to announce that 63 folks contributed to the latest Brian Reid Appreciation Fund, putting him a good ways towards the Noctilux he hungers to acquire. (For the Rollei guys, a Noctilux is that f/1 50mm wonder-lens produced by Leica for their M cameras.) Thanks to all who appreciated. Brian gives us all so much that, occasionally, it seems fit and mete to show the respect and appreciation we owe him. (And, for those who have recently joined -- Brian Reid owns the computer hardware and computer sense which hosts both the Leica Users Group and the Rollei List. When something goes a-gley, he fixes it. His services are vast and immense and are generally only noted by those of us active in List administration. But these services are done, day in and day out, without cease or thanks. Thus, we do an occasional fund-raising effort to show Brian our appreciation, as few of us enjoy the opportunity to acknowledge his work in person.) Besides, I believe that they filmed NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD close-by to Brian when he was in graduate school, a few years back. I am not certain of the connection, but, well, verb. sap. and all that! Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bąs fir gun ghrąs fir!
