[Leica] Cult of Leica - location of Solms

[jshul at comcast.net (Jim Shulman)]

Couldn't imagine a detail like that getting past the notorious New Yorker
fact-checkers!  They're legendary.

I, of course bow to the obviously superior - on the ground geographic  
knowledge of our German based Luggers. I have been to Solms and  
Wetzlar (with the LHSA) last year and it sure seemed to me that  
Wetzlar / Solms was south and east of Frankfurt. Perhaps I shouldn't  
have drunk so much beer. :-)
Cheers
Howard (going to consult the map)
