Pentax Fires USA Sales Staff

[Christine Aguila]

Bob:  I've been meaning to go to Central Camera.  I haven't been there in 
years.  And I think I've heard of PJ's.  Didn't they have a Pentax Day a few 
months ago?  I ought to trek out there one lazy Saturday.  And how fun you 
were "the 1st in the neighborhood."  When I was talking to the Calumet 
manager at Cherry & Division, I was inquiring about equipment rental.  I 
asked why they didn't offer any Pentax equipment for rental, and got the 
obvious answer.  FYI, Helix does rent Pentax, but only the 6x7 stuff--shoot, 
was it 6x7 or the 645.  D*mn, can't remember now.  I'd like to try a larger 
format; I think I'd very much like it.  Have you been to the Oak Brook shop?
Cheers, Christine
