[Leica] Yearbook status

[Brian Reid]

All of us are getting older, me included. Each year new challenges pop 
up, and I always put family and health first.

After a couple of months of disruption, I have managed to resume work on 
assembling the 2025 yearbook. I expect I will finish it in about a week. 
It’s always slow going to begin such exacting work, but I’ve gotten some 
momentum.

I think I am likely to declare that the next yearbook, the 2026 
yearbook, will be the last. I can be talked out of it, but we are of 
another era and we are slowing down. I might find the energy to send 
email to everyone who has ever subscribed to the LUG (and who is still 
alive) to suggest that they might consider submitting something.

So the 2025 yearbook will probably be available to order before 1 May 
2026.
