wife and I were packed and ready for Friday at 2:50 for Frankfurt and Windhoek. Wife's blood count went to hell again and doc says we can not leave the states. Instead we will do Cat Scans and Bone Marrow test and more blood work and..... So much for hunting Namibia, South Africa and sight seeing in Cape Town. Bah!! Humbug!!!!  You can borrow money but you can not borrow time. Go hunting with your family. | ||

Harry, I know what your going through. Last year, just weeks before we were to leave for South Africa, we found out LaRita had the big "C". Thankfully everything worked out and we went a couple of months later. I hope you both have better days. ______________________ | |||

Hey Mims you old dog,dang that's bad luck in that it stops your hunt, but good that you found it before you left! Tell that little lady she is in our prayers! Hang in there, she's more improtant than all the hunting in Africa combined. When she gets well, you will both enjoy it that much more! ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

Mims: You are a good man. Anyone who trusts me with $65 must be o.k.... and the check IS REALLY in the mail..  Kidding aside, I firmly believe in the power of prayer. It just plain works too much to be a concidence. I'll put my two cents in with the Good Lord that everything is o.k. (or will soon be that way!)... Mrs. Mims: Get well soon!
