I personally never met the man, missed him by a couple days in Zim, but he was not well liked, rich kid who BOUGHT his PH license in Zim, Zambia, and SA..........Namibia wouldn't budge on the apprentice program so he never had one there. He never actually qualified for a PH license in any country where he held one, he was never involved in any elephant cull, in fact he never actually did anything he wrote about in the first person. He trolled the bars and bought drinks for the PHs and then penned all their stories in the first person...........Everything he wrote was actual, just never happened to him........Like one PH said to me, "One couldn't possibly have the number of close calls that he wrote he had, and survived"
