[Leica] Leica and the LUG Yearbook

[Douglas Barry]

That comment raises bitter memories. Two years ago I was organising the 
50th Reunion dinner for my Leaving Cert year in my old school Blackrock 
College, and couldn't really get a decent enlargement from the old 
school annual I had.

I contacted Layfayette who had sent one of their photographers to take 
the original picture with a huge 8x10 camera complete with hood. 
However, I found that, following a family split up in the business, the 
glass plate negatives of many years had gone to someone who had 
subsequently died. Apparently the plates had been dumped after his house 
had been sold. Lord knows what important images went into that skip.
