[Leica] At the reunion

[abridge at gmail.com (Adam Bridge)]

You're so right. As kids we just dealt with it. Today, here in Davis,
as we walked out to go to the baseball game it was 115! Coming home at
9:30 I see the temperature is 98. I don't think I'll be opening house
before I go to bed!

Thanks for sharing your memory.
