Jerry Lehrer and I have been discussing this, by now, for almost two decades.
Franke & Heidecke made a couple of "TLR's on
Steroids" in the 1930's. These are acutely rare,
to be polite. Jerry obtained one in the 1940's
but shortly thereafter was chased to the West
Coast for reasons which remain obscure, and which
modesty forbids me from mentioning: perhaps it
was merely filthy lucre or perhaps those rumors
that he was to be hauled before the House
Un-American Activities Committee might have some
weight behind them? <he grins: my own fight
with the Virginia State Bar trumps any of Jerry's
problems in explaining his youthful membership in
the Young People's Socialist League at the
Brooklyn High School For Those With Special
Needs, or whatever they are calling it noiw.)
In any event, Jerry has lost track of his Studio
Rollei and I simply have to remind him on
occasion that if he ever recovers it, I want the
serial numbers. Shucks, Bob Pins has a standing
offer of a grand for such a camera and you can
trump that five or ten-fold today.
Jerry, I appreciate your membership on the List
and I hope that you accept my ribbing you in the
spirit in which it is given. You are our senior
member, I believe, and your contributions are really worthy.
