David Douglas Duncan is revered in Japan as the father of the Japanese
Optical Industry. They credit him with introducing Nikon lenses to the west,
and providing the needed kickstart for the export of Nikon optics to
America. The story is quite interesting and has been recounted many times in
many places.
I have Duncan's book on Viet Nam, _War Without Heroes_, and it's
outstanding.

P.S. Old Hank is just in the habit. For many years he didn't want his face
to become famous because he didn't want to be recognized on the street. But
now he's been photographed many times. John Loengard of LIFE magazine has a
picture of himself taken by Henri as he was making portraits of Henri, and I
have Inge Morath's portrait of Hank on my wall.
