Ok, since you asked! The camera store was located in Largo, Florida - (Tom,
ever buy a bunch of OM equipment in Largo???). I'm still in Florida - in
Palm Harbor. I now work as a Senior Systems Analyst for Bausch and Lomb -
that is, when I'm not out running film through my cameras (can't let them
get rusty!). Actually, not much withdrawal - but then again, I KEPT most of
the Olympus equipment when I closed the store <grin> - my wife sometimes
thinks I opened the store just to buy from Olympus wholesale! I also used
to work professionally as a motion picture cameraman. I did a lot of work
for John Deere and UpJohn - industrial films. As a side note - many many
years ago I even shot stills for Bausch and Lomb with my trusty Olympus
cameras - never thought one day I would work for them full time! BTW - I
also carried Minolta and Yashica/Contax - but they just aren't the same!
