[Leica] Reminder to All--LUG Yearbook 2007

[h_arche at yahoo.com (H. Ball Arche)]

This is a big event in my calendar, and I, for one, am
already thinking about what I'm going to send. 

The question is, do I send something that I couldn't
resist posting during the year, or hold something back
for the surprise!/holiday present factor? One of the
big treats in last year's book was seeing stuff (and
shooters) I hadn't seen before.
