For who ever Mark Rabiner (mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) is I put the post up about Wally Schirra and the Hasselblads. Mark is very quick to call it his. So I forgot to space between 2 & 1/4. Big deal.

When LIFE Magazine made the deal with the original "7". They were the
best jet drivers in the world,  but they were not making a lot of
money.  We all know what the gov. pays, but they did have fast toys.
So when they got tons of money from LIFE. Wally Schirra went out and
got the two thing he always wanted a Corvet and a Hasselblad. When
his
mission came up he was told to look out the window and tell them way
it
was like.  He said that under his seat was a space just as big as his
Hasselblad, so he could take some photos. Everyone said ok. When
they
saw those big 21/4 in full color that was it Hasselblad were on every
flight. So not corp. deals of any kind just a right thing at the
right
time and th right place.

21/4?
