Had to go to Columbus, OH today for a meeting and then on to Cleveland.
Stopped in Columbus Camera.  John was there.  He looked at me and then asked
my name.  When I told him, he said " wow! so you're the guy that got all
those phone calls going on that 4T!"  Guess it caused quite a stir at
Columbus Camera.
Seems like the biggest issue, was some woman Eric thought was calling from
Tennessee.  John told me that she had called 3 times about the 4T and each
time she thought Eric was a woman.  Seems like it took a bit to settle her
down.  Anyway, they're glad the 4T is sold, and hope it works.  John said it
was the second ugliest 4T he's ever seen, mine was the worst!
John says he has no idea what is wrong with Eric and why he's in such a bad
mood, thinks it might be the weather.

Got some different pricing from John on the items in the store, but he says
to call HIM AND NOT ASK FOR ERIC!!

Also stopped in Midwest Photo, they had nothing new in OM.  Still same price
of $1400 for this group on the 24 shift.  Their current flyer stated they
have a 35 shift, not true, haven't had one there for quite some time.
They did have a Pentax 28 shift ($600) that looked mint, but that doesn't do
most of us much good!
