[Leica] IMG: From the 1930s

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Hi Alan,

Glad you could reminisce with us.  The sepia seemed appropriate.  You seem 
to have a lot of aviation history around Milwaukee.  I bummed a ride in a 
C-47 in 1952, and made a round trip to DC in a C-54, which was plush because 
it was the base commander's airplane.  I still look up when I hear a round 
engine, but they aren't heard as frequently as they once were.
