[Leica] OUR OWN

[csemetko at gmail.com (Craig Semetko)]

Before I go any further--I forgot to mention my thanks to Jay Coleman for 
coming to the signing! How could I forget??? Great to see you again, Jay, as 
always. Forgive me--jet lag. 

And thanks for the congrats, Kyle, and I'm finding your observations about 
the LUG to be dead on. Everybody's been great about the book and exhibitions 
and stuff. Very supportive.

And yes, Steve wrote the eloquent first review on amazon and fellow LUGger 
Paul Syznol wrote another beauty, along with posting a great shot of Elliott 
& I. Thanks again, guys!
