Think back to when you were in high school, and how godawful old you would have thought anyone was who was wheeled into a 40th reunion...:-) LOL! -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jeffery Smith Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 7:42 PM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: RE: [Leica] transporting film Ah, a baby boomer like many of us. For the first time, folks in my high school graduating class are dying of diseases of the elderly (heart attacks, cancer). First it was Viet Nam and car accidents (10 year reunion), the AIDS (20 year reunion), and now heart attacks and cirrhosis (3 year reunion). I'm afraid to go to my 40 year reunion. Fortunately, it's still 4 years away.

How old are you? Your kids look pretty youngish. My hair (and beard) started graying when I was 30. I started getting senior citizen discounts before I was 40. I finally started wearing my hair about 1/3" long, so it "seems" less gray.

My problem is that, having had beard on and off since college, and pretty much full-time since 1980, every so often something comes over me and I head into the bathroom and just whack it off - and then I remember why I grew it! But what's really depressing about it is that when I was younger, I thought it made me look more mature - and now having the beard definitely makes me look younger...which is pretty sad, given how old I look.....:-O -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Douglas Herr Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 4:54 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: RE: [Leica] transporting film "B.

It worked 99.9% of the time. The other .1% of the time she kept thrashing her arms and I started yelling too.
