My uncle was a wedding photographer who sold bibles on the side, and my father had a Retina. That was about it photography-wise. Dad hated to spend money on anything, so a Leica was way, way out of the question.

And an attempt to change the subject... > > >And you've got the same name as Sugar Ray Robinson. > Ahhhhh....... you know a little about the "Sugar". Yes, I do but I was named for my father who was named for an uncle and while people assume that "Walker" was a family surname at some point in our ancestory, it has always been a given name. IOW, there are no Walker families in our past. If you ever visit the Smithsonian and have a chance to browse their archives, ask to see the photographs of Walker R. Smith. My father has as many as120 photographs in their files, many taken with a Model A and Model IIIa Leica. I'm in several of them myself.
