[Leica] One less veteran of WWII

[leicaslacker at gmail.com (kyle cassidy on the lug)]

Sgt. ?Wild? Bill Guarnere parachuted into Normandy, fought his way through 
Market Garden, was shot by a sniper along the banks of the Rhine and 
survived. Painted his cast with shoe polish and escaped the hospital to 
return to the front and fight with his unit. He lost a leg at the Battle of 
the Bulge and returned to a colorful life in America. He was made famous 
when Stephen Ambrose told the story of his unit in the book ?Band of 
Brothers?. He died Saturday at age 90.

I was lucky enough to do a number of portraits of him over the seven years I 
knew him; one of which ended up on the cover of my book about veterans 
tattoos.

If the portraits aren?t enough, for extra credit, spot the Contax G2.
