When I was fresh from the Leica School in Wetzlar and full of gratitude for
two weeks in Germany on Leica I impulsively ordered a vanity plate for my
car that said" LEICA" and got it. Then paranoia set in and I dreamed of
having all the windows in my car smashed out by thieves searching for its
precious cargo( not that I am stupid enough to leave a Leica in the car).
But one day while getting gasoline at an inner city filling station the
attendant( remember those?) asked me if the "LISA", as he pronounced it, was
me daughter's name. The paranoia has been gone ever since.
By the way, The "LEICA" tag is on it's second vehicle now.
