Subject: [Leica] IMG: An Image from My First Camera

As I mentioned earlier today, my first camera was a Kodak Brownie Flash 
Six-20, received as a gift in 1951.  I haven't seen it in years, so I 
suspect I passed it on to someone in the extended family.

I was able to scan an album page of drugstore prints and get an example of 
the images from this camera.  This was made at the Dayton Art Institute, 
Dayton, OH, in the Fall of 1951.  The camera was a good beginning tool, and 
caused me to buy a used Leica IIIa the following Summer.
