>  Thank you for the confirmation of my subscription to the LUG newsletter. 
> It appears that most of the comments concern the use of "M" series Leicas. 
> My "niche" is working with Wildlife Biologists photographing animals for 
> their research studies. Recent  projects include; Grey Wolf recovery, 
> Yellowstone N.P and Mexican Wolf in Az. and N.M., Orca Whales, San Juan 
> Island Wa. Wild Horses, Mt., Wy., Az., N.M. Consequently, i need "long" 
> lenses that are not available in the "M" format, hence the use  of R's.
>  My web site is currently undergoing a "facelift" so it is temporarily 
> unavailable. However, you may get a feel for who i am and what i do by 
> visiting the Spring 2003 issue of Leica View. An unexpected call from 
> Christian Erhardt almost resulted in cardiac arrest when he said," Don, we 
> want to feature you in the upcoming issue of Leica View. Is that all right 
> with you? " As difficult as the decision was, how could i not accept, LOL. 
> This resulted in the front cover and a 6 page profile. 
>  I welcome the opportunity to participate in the LUG forum and become 
> acquainted, even if it is with "M" affectionados. LOL.
