   Yup - George Washington University. I wasn't on the Cherry Tree ;-)
   staff, I was the Exec. News Editor of The Hatchet - another ;-) - the
   student newspaper.

I was at University of Maryland. Took pictures and sometimes wrote for
the Diamondback, and got to edit the Terrapin one year.

   
   Why no Leica? I'd abandoned my IIIc for the SLR - and didn't return to
   Leica until the mid-70s. I've always been an on-again/off-again Leica
   guy, who each time he leaves, eventually regrets the move, and pays
   twice as much to get back into the club.

I guess I was lucky. Maryland owned an M2 and an M3 for some of the
time I was there. And I got my parents to bring an M2 home from
Europe, and I managed to aquire a few lenses, including an early screw
mount 21.

BTW BD, did you go to National Camera Repairs on Pa. Ave?

   
   And on top of all that I was doing far more writing than shooting at
   that point, and continued to do so for a couple decades there after.

      Kyle's great Howard Dean shot reminded me of something - and sent me
      looking for the 1969 GWU yearbook - and the flatbed..

      As cropped in the yearbook...late October, 1968. Undoubtedly shot on
      Tri-X - was there any other film? - with a Pentax and Vivitar Series

      28 lens - those of you who only look at Leica images, avert your
   eyes!
      :-)
   
   So you were doing yearbook stuff in 1969, huh? I assume GWU is George
   Washington University?
   
   And why weren't you using a Leica then? When I did my yearbook stint, a
   few years earlier, I managed to use my M2 quite a bit. (pictures later)
