Since I didn't see it already noted on the forum,
Tom Mattanovich, famous Ethiopian Outfitter from the late 1960's till present, passed away Sunday. He'd had a ongoing battle with Parkinsons. One of the last of the great Ethiopian Outfitters. RIP

Sad to hear.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Sorry to hear Rich...another legend gone.

One of the very best and very sad.

Sad to read this. He had a hell of a good run in Ethiopia. I guess Nassos is about the only one of the ‘old guard’ left, isn’t he?

I had the pleasure of having coffee with Thomas and his wife in Addis Ababa several years ago in his office. A real gentleman.

Colonel Negusse maybe?

Col. Negussie died several years ago.
Nassos said in his email Sunday,"....and only left from the old guys is me". So it goes.
