[Leica] yearbook question, but political

[Douglas Barry]

As a small part of the foreign wing of the LUG, and thus cognisant that 
the majority of Luggers are American, I would prefer that the yearbook 
proceeds would go to a disadvantaged school in a poor district of a deep 
red state. Looking at the state of US education inequity, I dare say it 
should be easy enough to find one that the proceeds would help.

Much and all as Trump seems to be a manipulated, self serving and 
dangerous buffoon, I'd prefer to steer clear of an overtly political 
donation as it could be uncomfortable for certain people on the list.
