Hello all, T. Mike Fletcher here.  On this date in 1954, 25 May.  Robert 
Capa was killed when he stepped on a mine, in French Indo-China.   Later to 
be knowen as Vietnam.  Capa was the first American killed in Vietnam, and 
the first LIFE Magazine photographer ever killed while on assigment.  I 
though this note would give us all a reason to have a drink or two on this 
day.

Later, T. Mike Fletcher-------QWhoZeiss@aol.com
