[Leica] LUG 20th anniversary

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

Wow.  thanks a lot, Brian, for hosting us all.   I know reading the LUG 
Digest is a big part of my day, and enjoyable, too.  I love to see the 
diversity of shots.  Something for everybody.  I am not sure how long ago I 
joined.  Maybe 8 years?  But I plan on being around for the next 20 to 
celebrate the 40th, that is if this kind of technology is still in vogue. 
Remember bulletin boards of the 80's?
