[Leica] We're losing a LUG member

[Brian Reid]

Steve Barbour has been for decades a beacon of life and light to the LUG 
and to the many people whose lives he touched. He joined the LUG in 
early January 2001. His passing is a loss to the whole world. I already 
miss him.

If you haven't seen his book "I never wanted to be famous" (Photographs 
of children in the hospital) you must.
