Families, however, are not immune from discord, as most of us know, and somehow they do survive and even thrive with the occasional kick in the butt. Over toast and coffee this morning I found myself on page 104 of "Magnum - Fifty Years at the Front Line of History" by Russell Miller. (ISBN 0436203731) The year was 1952 and Robert Capa .............. .............."told his brother Cornell that he had been offered a salary to continue running Magnum. Cornell congratulated him and said it was about time his efforts were recognized. " "You're crazy," Capa retorted. "Do you think I would want to be employed by those bastards?" We are no different than most families. The light is perfect somewhere near. Load up some film and go find that light. Cheers, David Medley Whidbey Is. WA USA dmedley@whidbey.net
