RE: [Leica] I'm doing a wedding what should I do? ;-)

[Buzz Hausner <Buzz@marianmanor.org>]

I checked with Beth, Ted, and the good news is that only about 5% of babies
arrive on their actual due-date.  Nonetheless, keep the fifteen in your kit,
it will make those one-handed self portraits in action possible and I can't
wait to see them!  With your experience in the operating room, at least as
documented in your wonderful book, "This is Our Work..." I have no doubt
that you could perform a one-handed caesarian section with an M6 firing away
in the other hand.

	All my best,

Hi Buzz,
Can't you just see me kneeling down trying to help the baby into the world
with
one hand,  the other holding up an M6 with a 15 mm Voigtlander taking self
"portraits" while in action! ;-)

Please tell Beth thanks very much for her assistance offer. But it ain't
goin'
to happen! Jeeeeesh I sure hope not! Well what the hell I've been around
enough
of them, birthings, I suppose I could do it if pressed into action. However,
I'd much rather just be the recorder and not a participant! :-)
