I am a bit masochistic, I have every invoice for every Leica purchase stored in a folder. To look over & lament, I suppose. Over the years, I visited Don several times. He was only a couple of hours south of me. I bought 3 bodies (M3, M4-P & M6), and 6 lenses (several versions of 35 & 50 'crons & a 90 TE), and an uncountable number of body & lens caps. He was great to deal with, and always gave me a very good trade in & price, along with a new story about Leica every time I visited. He & Jim Kuehl were the last of their kind...
