[Leica] Film "died" for me this week

[rclompus@cox.net]

Bob,

I'll let my kids worry about that.  I hacve spent some time pondering 
what will happen to most of our photography.  In my case, some prints 
will survive but that is not my goal.  I mainly make prints for projects and 
gifts.  No legacy here.  Just personal satisfaction.  Nothing lasts forever 
and I'm not trying to leave a legacy.  It will be my acts and hopefully my 
kids that live on beyond my prints.
