Hello fellow board members;
Who's lives and writings, past through present, made Africa so fascinating a place to dream about to you?
Now, close your eyes and think an few minutes and imagine that you could literally call back anyone from Africa's past Golden Age up through living persons today. You could spend a day with that person, then the next day the next one on your list would be your guide. You would see Africa from their eyes and experience their lives and sensations. What men and women would you choose to experience Africa with?
Pick whomever, YOU WANT, even if that name has already been mentioned. Your list can be longer or shorter than pervious list. What this tread is really about is getting to know YOU and how you think.
I'll start off:
(1) Robert C. Ruark
(2) Peter H. Capstick
(3) Harry Selby
(4) Isak Dinesan (Karen Blixen)
(5) Beryl Markham
(6) Mary H. Kingsley
(7) Denys Finch-Hatton
(
Bror Von Blixen
(9) Craig Boddington
(10) Terry Wieland
(11) David Livingston
(12) Dr. Albert Schweitzer
(13) Paul von Lettow
(14) Richard Meinertzhagen
(15) John H. Patterson
There are many others for me, but, I'll stop here. They are in the exact order of whom I would want to spend a day with. Now, how about YOU? Who would you have liked to have spent a day in Africa with?
The main thing here is to become acquainted with you and your taste, so "name away" please.
