Sam,

I have forwarded the SK Grimes website to you.  I have dealt with them by mail,
but Eric has dealt with them in person.  He has had many a beer with Steve, 
before
he died.  Steve was a fine gentleman of the old school.  Also a fine craftsman,
who embraced modern technology.

He will be missed, but his works live on with his technicians.  He taught them
well.

I'm sure that Eric can tell us a lot more of Steve Grimes and his work.  Also
Marc, who has had some restoration work done on lenses.

Jerry
