THE MINOX MEMO RETURNS! During the 1950’s and 60’s, the Minox Memo was published by Don Thayer, Sr. as part of Minox Processing  Laboratories’ effort to spread the allure of the Minox subminiature cameras. Given freely to registered owners of Minox cameras, this publication set a high standard for excellence in offering articles that were interesting, informative and fun. Readers could learn how to use their cameras in imaginative and new ways, find out what interesting things others were doing with their cameras, and even peek into the lives of celebrities of the time who were successfully using Minox cameras of their own. In that same spirit, the Minox Historical Society decided one of it's early goals was to publish an electronic newsletter of our own that would also be interesting, informative and fun. We were therefore extremely surprised and grateful when Don Thayer, Jr., the current President of Minox Processing Laboratories, very graciously offered us permission to use MPL's registered name "Minox Memo" as the title of our publication. It is thus with no small amount of pride that we offer to our members the "series II" edition of the venerable "Minox Memo". Further thanks are should be expressed to Thorsten Kortemeier at Minox GmbH for his support. He has given us permission to use Minox's copyrighted materials, provided us valuable information and given us much needed moral support. We would also like to thank all those who have given their support for what is being accomplished. From you, the members of the MHS, to those who have provided invaluable information from the various newsgroups and around the world, it has been a great adventure. As we embark on this new project we call on each of you to help both with this publication and the website.  Our goal is to make every piece of information about Minox, no matter how small or insignificant, available to as many people as possible. As the Executive Committee and Minox Memo staff, we will be here to bring your knowledge, experiences, and especially your photos to life. We look forward to sharing them. Thanks for joining us in this adventure. Minox Historical Society Executive Committee Peter D. Zimmerman President John K. Watson, Jr. Vice President / Technology Manager D.
