My impression is that Kansas City folks don't get it. Leica has never 
really taken off in this area, even though this has to be one of the 
richest areas in the Midwest. Marketing hasn't been done well I suppose. 
The money is there. Just cruise down Tomahawk drive! Shoot, Columbia has 
better luck with Leicas than Kansas City. Which dealer are you talking 
about? C&J, IPAS or Crick?
