Another Bites the Dust
Some of you probably got this message from Pete Barnard. Sorry to me to hear it.

"Dear all,

It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this mail. I am sorry to tell you all that my tracker and good friend for many years, Misheck, was tragically killed on Monday evening the 5th May by a buffalo bull in his village. It appears that he was trying to chase the buffalo out of his cotton fields while on some time off with his family.

As you all know he was one of a kind, a friendly,happy and brilliant tracker. He leaves behind his two small children,his wife and his late brother's two children that he was looking after, and his twin brothers whom he was putting through schooling also.

We had his funeral yesterday in his village in the Dande safari area.It was a very sad day for everyone there.

He will be missed by all of us that knew him, I hope he has gone onto happy hunting grounds.

Peter Barnard"

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like he had a lot of family responsibilities.

No, no, no... not Mischek!!!! Damn another good tracker lost tragically. Did Pete say anything about a fund for the family, Bill?


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.
