Thanks Philippe (and Ric, Leonard)
Yes, lucky.  And for his brothers too.  They were crazy experimenters in 
their
youth, among many things making a 6" reflecting telescope out of 2x4's + 
their
home-ground lenses, and an enlarger out of coffee cans that had the lens set
into an industrial brass nut about 3" in diameter, for focusing.  This is 
down
in my basement now.

I am fortunate that I can still use the same camera that took so many of my
childhood pictures.
