[Leica] Re: Mortuary Science

Buzz,

Bob Shell is very active on the contax slr mailing list. Although it's easy 
to poke fun at his (un)glamour content through the years, his connections 
in the photo equipment industry are tremendous, and it adds a lot of value 
to that list, as well as to the magazine.  I think that Bob remains a 
contributing editor.
