A rare shot of him without a hat. | |||

in all of the visits I made to his home, he never wore a hat indoors. It WAS in his left hand by time he opened the screen door though. Note the hatrack behind him. Rich DRSS | |||

Does anyone else remember how he described resetting his own broken nose with two pencils and some sticky tape in 'Hell I Was There'? He must have been a really tough bugger! | |||

Isn't there a magazine piece about Mr. Keith being on a commercial airliner when an on-board bomb exploded? Dabney | |||

I remember reading, "Hell I Was There ' ... and at the end of the book he mentioned that a person should tell a person if he enjoyed (been 30 years so I am a bit vague on the exact words) what a person had written ... you should tell them and not wait until they are dead. I agreed instantly and grabbed my telephone .. got his phone number from some operator and phoned Idaho to tell the fellow how much I did enjoy his writings and his latest book .. The lady that answered the phone said that Mrs. Keith had gone to visit her husband where ever he then was after that horrible stroke .. Damn.  | |||

I am still really, really regretting not sending a letter to Finn Aagaard telling how much his writing meant to me. I sure told myself that I would quite a few times. I have had a few chances to speak to Craig Boddington a few times and I made sure to out of my way to tell him that it was his writing that sent me to Africa. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Yep, surely is. Interesting exhibit, too. It was set up there with the advice of gun writer John Taffin, plus the guns, mounts, office settings, etc., being loaned to Cabela's by Elmer Keith's son, who lives here in Boise. Anyone visiting Boise should take a time to visit Cabela's and see the Elmer Keith Exhibit. L.W. "A 9mm bullet may expand but a .45 bullet sure ain't gonna shrink." | |||
