And then of course, there was the LUG "scholarship" fund, started by Kyle, where Kyle and Tina sold prints to partially (how partially, I don't know) send Scott Squire http://www.journalism.berkeley.edu/students/squire.html to spend time in the sewers of Bucharest to document the lives of gypsy street children http://www.scottsquire.net/skd/index.html - - Phong - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Chandos Michael Brown Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2003 1:26 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] WAS Shell; NOW LUG generosity Steve can, of course, speak to this. My recollection is that it was a gift (or perhaps I merely choose to remember it this way). A search of the LUG archives would reveal all (if one could figure out an appropriate search string), but why spoil a pleasant memory by confronting it with a dispiriting fact? I do this for a living in my day job--in my spare time I prefer to inhabit the fantasy world that is the LUG, where kindness, humanity, politesse, and good manners invariably prevail.
