[Leica] IMGS: Hurricane Mitch

[Aram Langhans]

I agree, Ric.  I don't know if I would be able to detach myself from the 
destruction and suffering to even lift a camera to my eye.  More power 
to those that can so as to enlighten others to the situation to get help 
to those who need it.  My hat (if I wore one) is off to you, Tina.  
Thank you.

Aram
