[Leica] DiMarco exhibit at Temple Unbversity.

[schroter at optonline.net (schroter@optonline.net)]

I tried to access the site:
1) spelling of temple should be corrected.  Its termple instead of Temple
2)The site is restricted to faculty, staff and students at temple.  Doesn't 
appear to be a public viewing available, through this link, anyways.
