I graduated from Guilford College in '72 with a BA in Sociology.... I said, "I graduated!, Oh! Lawdy!) And whilst I am off topic, what would be a good primer for learning to read Biblical (Hellenic as opposed to Homeric) Greek? I am fascinated by the ancient world ( Just got "Ancient Greece- A Political, Social, adn Cultural History" by Pomeroy, Burstein, et al.) and spend almost as much money on books (acquired nasty habit) as I do on Leicas (another nasty habit). Regardless, didn't mean to pull your chain! Dan BTW- for your list- Just acquired another SL-Nr. 1202319 with 2 cam 50mm Summicron-R nr.2270550 - -----Original Message----- From: Marc James Small <msmall@roanoke.infi.net> To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Date: Saturday, May 15, 1999 10:27 PM Subject: [Leica] My Credentials >Seriously, does it matter?
