[Leica] Ken Carney Has Left The LUG

[Howard Cummer]

Sorry I am late to comment on Ken’s passing - I only receive the digest.

I first met Ken and Susan on the Alaskan Cruise that Ted Grant was going to lead but declined after Irene died.

We had a very social time and were in touch for many years after. Ken’s skill in printing was awesome and his

contributions to the LUG from Oklahoma  - along with Robert B's - enlightening and enjoyable.

Requiesce in pace.

Howard
