Hi Pascal,

If they had one on the west coast of US or Canada, they'd be Americans or a
mix of US and Canadian, with a waiting list even if it were held twice a
year.

The Leica workshop I present on the east coast in the fall each year always
has a waiting list due to never enough room for the numbers wishing to
attend. There are usually well over 100 people trying to register. If there
was a Leica school on the west coast, established under similar conditions
as Maine, I have no doubt we'd have a waiting list also.

It's too bad the Leica Akademie doesn't see the value of a class held here.
Maybe now with a Leica workshop held in Thailand they'll be open to one
here.
