Bill--
Thanks! I hope I can make some valuable contributions to the LUG. As a
dealer, and as an individual, apart from my work as a dealer, I'd like to be
able to be a resource for the group (if you'll have me)! We've got some
interesting plans for acmefoto.com that I think will be very valuable (and
fun) for Leica aficionados, We also publish an online newsletter ("Acmefoto
Views") that will be issued monthly that will deal with topics of interest
to Leica users. Please feel free to join us.
Thanks again. Glad to "meet" you. :-)
Kit

I am impressed. You are well qualified. I would sat from a legal point.
You would qualify as an expert. I do appreciate your input and
observations. Keep them coming. :-)
Sincerely
Bill
