Hi Kyle,
I don't think it could be said any better about the motley crew flying the 
good ship LUG!!

Like you, I've made friends, true friends whom I know without a doubt, if 
I'm in a bad situation they'd bail me out, come to my rescue, whatever. And 
they know I'd reciprocate in a heart beat. It's this part of the LUG that 
really makes it worth while. Sure the camera stuff is great, the vast 
knowledge of experts, professionals, a padre or two, why we've got the best 
dang crew in the world for advise, support when we're down, sympathy due to 
misfortune or family loss.

And all because a fellow by the name of Brian Reid wanted to talk to a bunch 
of Leica users!  ;-) I bet at the beginning he had no idea what it would 
evolve into and the friendships it would create. Thanks Brian.
