Mark:
My oldest brother Doug graduated New Trier West in 1968 and went directly
to U of I in Champaign-Urbana, then to the air force after he got both
bachelors and masters degrees in statistics in 4 years. He's living in
Wilmette and maintaining large databases for Allstate Insurance in
Northbrook. My middle brother Bruce graduated NTW in 1970. He's in Sacramento.
I went to junior high and high school with Bill Rosauer. It was he who
persuaded me to bring the M3 on the annual field trip to the state capitol
in Springfield instead of an old Contax SLR. (I can still hear him saying,
"Bring de Leica!") Bill and I worked at Stern's Camera together. He's
published a few things of mine in LHSA Viewfinder. I see him from time to
time when I visit my mom in Winnetka. She taught French at NTW for many years.
The store across the tracks was Phototronics. I bought a Visoflex III with
interchangeable focusing screens and an 85mm f/1.9 Canon Serenar lens from
Mason Rowell who was a salesman there around 1970 or so.

Well your name sure sounded familiar I guess.
I was in the class of 69 of New Trier West and lived a block away on
Riverside Drive.
I've got Doug and Bruce Bohrer in my 68 yearbook.
You may have known Bill Rosauer who also worked under Harry probably around
then.
I went to Sterns about every Saturday in the 60's. Hang out until they
kicked me out.
I went back 20 years later and they moved it where that Electro something
camera store on the other side of the tracks used to be.
