I thought you all would like to know today (July 22) is Harry Selby's 90th birthday. His daughter Gail put together a video tribute and I thought I would share it for all of you to enjoy. There are some familiar pictures, and also some really great never-before-seen ones as well. Please feel free to forward the link to anyone you feel might enjoy spending a few moments honoring a living legend. Keep in mind as you watch that Harry wasn't only a PH. He was (and still is) a husband, a father, a friend, and a mentor to many people. Along with the hunting, I also like to think about the other people whose lives he touched, and continues to touch - mine included. So sit back and enjoy Gail's video. If you've got a cold one handy, raise a toast to a fine, fine gentleman. Furaha ya siku ya kuzaliwa, Haraka! Gail's Tribute Video | ||

Happy Birthday!!! My one experience with him found him to be quite the gentleman. 6 or 8 years ago, when Gail first posted here, I reached out and asked her if he would sign my copy of Horn of the Hunter. He graciously agreed and my copy went halfway round the world and came back immeasurably more valuable. It remains one of of my most prized African 'trophies'!

90 very memorable years! Happy Birthday Harry! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

Happy Birthday Sir. JEB Katy, TX Already I was beginning to fall into the African way of thinking: That if you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on the animal's terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always recapture the day - Robert Ruark DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||
