Hi Steve,

Good on you, look forward to seeing you there. :-)

If any of you folks have thoughts of attending this year's Leica Seminar in
Kennebunkport, Maine I'd like to suggest you not wait tooooo long to
register. As out of 55 rooms allotted, 33 are gone and we still have several
months to go until October. But if you wait until May you might be out of
luck! I know of one Lugger who signed on for this year as we were wrapping
up last year. :-)

As usual the past several years attendee space is gone many months in
advance, with lots going on the waiting list. So this is a heads up if you
are considering attending I'd get on the phone smartly to:

Carl Derderian at Park Square Camera and Photo in Boston:
617-482-8356 or e-mail:  Pksqcamera@aol.com

There are always several LUGNUTS who attend and it's nice to put a face to
the name on the screen.

Like I said this is a heads up, so book early and don't be crying to me in
June asking to help you get a reservation, as happened last year. ;-)  So
hopefully we'll have a few new Luggers and there is always a great fun
lovin' Leica crowd.  And if you don't own a Leica, not to worry as there are
lots of bits and pieces to play with during shooting time. ;-)
