Is Bert still living? I have done a search and come up empty.

I may be wrong but I thought I just read where he got married recently .

He was always tight with the Passanisi's in TZ if anyone has any contact with them.

It appears he has a booking agency in TX.

Alive and well.It was his brother, Chris, that recently married.

Where does this stuff come from?

I want to be Bert in my next life.

And that includes being married to Brigitte.

I did learn that Bridgette died a couple,of years ago

Chris re-married a few years ago when his wife died in 2004.

Chris divides his time between Las Vegas and the Seattle area. My wife and I have had the privilege of having dinner with Chris and his current spouse, Grace, and it was enjoyable. He is a very unassuming individual and one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet. Grace is a classy lady as well! Two of Chris's books that I keep in my law office libary:

I talk to Bert most every year at DSC , Chris was also their 2 years ago, I was very lucky to get to know Bert Klineburger at one of the first Oklahoma city safari club meetings ,,and that was a long time ago! got all of their books and still cant believe all the things the two of them have done, a lot of those things cant ever be done today at any cost. I really hope thay are at this years DSC.

I just finished those two books. Very good and interesting. I am reading Bert"s books now. These guys were the real deal.

Yes, Brigitte died in 2013. Terrible loss.

I understand that some of her ashes were buried by Bert and friends near the Mbarangandu River in the southern Selous.

She and Bert booked our second safari in the Selous. She was a fun and fine woman.

In my opinion, Bert is the greatest hunter alive, and perhaps who ever lived.

My wife and I attended a fun "South of the Border" party at Chris/Grace's home in Las Vegas last year before SCI....Bert was there and in great spirits, he still lives in Texas, as well as ol' Bob Markworth, the archer who did the shows with Colleen for years. Gene is still alive and well living in assisted living east of Seattle. These guys are the great old Masters of Hunting the world!!
Cheers,

I met Chris at the SCI Convention last year where he signed my copy of GameMasters. We sat and talked for a half hour or so. A very nice man!

470EDDY: I have had dinner and talked at length with Bob Markworth as well. He now has a new, very attractive (but married) female assistant for his archery shooting show which he still does. He recently did his presentation at the World Archery Awards here in Las Vegas that my wife and I attended. Here's Bob latest book as well:
