The average age of the 3,000 plus membership is probably still around 60+ but the members (both LUGgers & not) are difinitely users as well as some being collectors. LHSA President & Major General, ret. USMC) Roy Moss once said to me "Marvin, I never would own a camera that I didn't use". Most of you are familiar with the names: Tom Abrahamsson, Gary Todoroff, Bill Rosauer, Dick Gilcreast, Marc J. Small and both Roy & Marvin Moss & know that they are active shooters regardless of how many Leicas they own and whereas being a LUGger is not for every Leica owner, I think that the Leica Historical Society is a must for every serious Leica user; I wonder how many of us are !
