Tink was a founding member of the Leica Historical Society of America and owned the Ewald-Clark camera store, a Leitz/Leica distributor from 1949 until 1991. Tink had been a Contax RF photographer before the War as he could not find a store in western Virginia which would sell him a Leica. During the War, he served as the unit photographer for the Engineer Battalion which occupied the Leitz works in Wetzlar, and was a devoted Leicaphile thereafter. He will be sadly missed by all of his many friends. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
