Boddington penned a tribute about his uncle Art, who recently passed away, in the current issue of Petersen's HUNTING. Great story. CB often wrote of the connection his Uncle Art had with Jack O'Connor. Very interesting.
CB tells of Uncle Art's first safari, and how that event lit a fire in his belly.
Keep it up Craig and they will start calling you Gary Sitton.
I'll definitely pick it up. It was Craig's writing about "unlce Art's" 375 improved that caused me to give one a try and I now own a couple of them and have used them with amazing success on almost everything.

You should know. You had to put the pieces back together! It's great that Craig has included so many articles about the fast 375's in his writing. You just knew who he was writing for.

Read it. Great article by Craig as usual, with an interesting picture and an even more interesting conjecture at the end of the article about the accompanying photo.
I liked the photos in that story. I have an affinity for pictures of old people when they were young. One of my friends has a picture of aunt and uncle taken in the roaring 20s. They look just like young people do today, except for the clothes.
We have that famous Robert Doisneau Paris photo in our laundry room. It always strikes me that in all likelihood the people in that photo are now dead. But when it was taken, it had only been five years since WWII ended; the subjects in that photo were young and vibrant, just as Art Popham is in that photo in CBs story.
Doisneau once wrote, "The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange that which you find on the street."
You could say the same thing about hunting and the people with whom we hunt.
