My father-in-law, a delightful if annoying retired beaurocrat in his mid-seventies, has a saying that I love: "remember, don't mistake honesty for cruelty!!" I hope to God the rich doctors-lawyers-dentists-etc....buy TONS of the stuff... as quickly as possible....as they did in the past decades.....and I'd just as soon prefer that they never use it....but that they store it properly (many don't).... This way, if my daughter is interested in photography when she's older, there'll be plenty of cheap Leica gear, as there was when I was young..... sincerely, your bottom-feeding-estate-sale-widow-grubbing leica friend, Walt in Denton (BTW, when my wife and I die, you won't want our stuff....trust me....actually, hers may not hold up that long.......at least we'll "offend" the Leica collectors....) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) (for Buzz)
