Yup - George Washington University. I wasn't on the Cherry Tree ;-)
staff, I was the Exec. News Editor of The Hatchet - another ;-) - the
student newspaper.

Why no Leica? I'd abandoned my IIIc for the SLR - and didn't return to
Leica until the mid-70s. I've always been an on-again/off-again Leica
guy, who each time he leaves, eventually regrets the move, and pays
twice as much to get back into the club.

And on top of all that I was doing far more writing than shooting at
that point, and continued to do so for a couple decades there after.

So you were doing yearbook stuff in 1969, huh? I assume GWU is George
Washington University?

And why weren't you using a Leica then? When I did my yearbook stint, a
few years earlier, I managed to use my M2 quite a bit. (pictures later)
