Jack,

I'm glad you spoke with him. The folks that have actually spent time with him really like him, as you and I do. Balls of African steel, and a class act from what I know of him personally.

Ripp,

I do of Hippo and Cape buffalo, both excellent specimens as you eluded to, though the photographs were taken with a non digital 35mm hasselblad. I have to transfer them to digital one of these days to view them on computer somehow.

Cheers.
