[Leica] Do you remember why you joined the LUG?

[RicCarter]

My photo equipment was stolen in about 2002

About a year later I got an insurance check and bought my first Leica kit

M6, 21 Elmarit, 28 Elmarit, 50 Summicron, 90 Summicron
Had to get them to show me how to load it

Needed some education

Found the LUG on google and started listening

It was the first time that having a camera community on the Internet had occured to me
Joined in

Still need education, so I'm still here
