Actually, Eric, they don't pick either.........the husbands and the cameras
are given to them for the advancement of the family of the husband, and for
the publicity/PR of the camera company.
But, she could be judged to have good taste and sense keeping her cameras --
perhaps not so, for the husband.
Fairly certain I've seen that the family has regularly received Rolleis and
Hasselblads, too.....
