[LargeFormat] Dagor77 (Was cult lenses)

[Les Newcomer]

Mom had the pressure cooker.  Dad was a tinkerer.  He couldn't resist 
and one day put a small steam whistle on it.    I could tell from two 
blocks a way when dinner was ready. It was a lot of fun until  he 
clogged it with overcooked mush potatoes.
