[Leica] Yearbook prices AND

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (Ted Grant)]

Mine 4 copies are on the way and I should have them on the 5th of January.
Can hardly wait to see how well my Great Grand-daughter looks howling her
head off at one week old! :-)

Oh she was some "ticked off" to put it mildly at the look of the camera! :-)

cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
