The "Montreal Allouettes" were the football team of Montreal, or were at the time. ;-) And Patek was an old-time Czech-Ukrainian Leica using hockey player of the Montreal Maroons! ;-) It was always quite a scene when he sat in the penalty box after head clobbering unfortunate Boston Bruin or Detroit Red Wing hockey players, hanging over the boards and shooting Leica fashioned prized action pictures! ;-) As I recall he couldn't play hockey worth a damn, but he sure was one hell of a good Leica photographer. ;-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
