Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/e http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/ -----Original Message----- Subject: [Leica] blast from the past I was going through some old storage boxes and ran across some negatives from VN that I thought had been lost, though I still have the contact sheets. One set was taken when Nancy Sinatra was doing a USO tour in late '66 and visited our post just outside of Saigon. I managed to find my way into where she was hanging out backstage and got a few pictures. IIRC, the camera would have been an M3 and 50mm Summicron: http://tinyurl.com/5uu3wu They're nothing to shout about but I'm glad I found them anyway. My daughter will enjoy them I'm sure. You can't tell from the photos but her dress and boots were bright pink. Nancy would been 26 at the time, same age as I was. Her wiki article mentions the USO tour in 66-7. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
