[Leica] Cuba

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

Yes, gradually, but still nothing for amateur photographers wanting to get
there before it becomes a tourist trap again. There is a license available
for "free-lance photographers" with a "substantial history" of publication.
Unfortunately, my main publication history is in our church bulletin, so I
won't ask.  Or maybe I will, come to think of it.  I have the bulletin,
church brochures, a Diocese Christmas card, two Blurb books, the LUG gallery
and a web site, plus I have heard that the state department people don't
necessarily sit around discussing super string theory. Might work with some
new stationery.
