This was my email to your uncle in 2008:
Dear Kelly,
There is evidence building up that the camera that I have is one of your father's inventions. The attached sketches "show"my camera.
Are you working on a book about your father's amazing contributions?
I contacted PBS to get their credible team for their series History Detectives to assist me put together the different pieces of the puzzle.
This could be a great way for you to dissiminate information about your Dad and his work. If a book is inthe making,a show on your father's work would greatly assist you in getting out the news about the upcoming book.
Allison Wurthman is an Associate Producer at PBS,and she has shown interest in doing some research on my "mystery camera".
Please by so kind to allow her to contact you for additional information. I would greatly appreciate it.
I have done my share the past 24 hours in posting threads on three photography websites to inform people all over the world about your father's work.
Rangefinderforum.com has 25,000 members while photo.net has half a million members. Posting there about your father's work has spread information on him via google.com for millions of people to read about.
While I am a Statistics Professor at the University of West Florida, I love the history of cameras and I appreciate their wonderful and often ingenious designs.
If you allow me to call you, that would be greatly appreciated. I am fascinated by all of this.
Sincerely,
Raid Amin
