[Leica] Fwd: IMG: A View from the Past

[Douglas Barry]

Going on Google maps, your town has certainly changed, Jim. You should 
put some of those pictures together, print them as big as possible, and 
get your local library to host an exhibition. If they're anyway clued 
in, they should jump at the chance.
