I'm probably the youngest who posts regularly. I'm 44.

    I don't think this is the best idea. I am willing to be the person who 
    goes in to Steve's account and gets the pictures out, but I'm not the 
    right long-term keeper of them. I'm 70. I use old technology. I've been 
    making sure that a couple of my children have access to my own passwords 
    and logins, and they'd be baffled if they found passwords for something 
    that is not mine.
    
    The LUG is 20% of the size that it was when Steve started assembling 
    that collection of pictures. People fade away, but since it is email 
    based and Leica centric, new people don't join. Facebook and Instagram 
    and TikTok and Google Groups are where the action is nowadays. I'd bet 
    that the youngest active LUG participant is older than 50.
    
    The ideal place to keep them would be a wiki-like thing that could be 
    updated by any member. But I don't have one of those and I'm fresh out 
    of ideas for how to create one.
