[Leica] thousands of street photographers undeveloped negativesfound after her death

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

Jim,

I think that is a very valid concern.  I haven't been printing that much
lately, as in what would I do with them.  But a benefit of this discussion
is that I think I have talked myself into a 3880, in the event someone in
the future might want to look at some of my stuff, or at least family stuff.
