Peter would have been 77. Hard to believe it was 20 years ago he passed right after SCI Convention.
Not to get this into a snit fight about whether or not he was a great PH, but suffice it to say he was an engaging and descriptive writer that brought the smell, the feels and the thrill of the African bush to millions. That includes me.
I had the pleasure to have known Peter, and regret the fact that he left the party way too soon. In his curtailed life, he had plenty of adventure and inspired me to have a little of my own. I raise a glass and toast Peter Hathaway Capstick on his birthday. He'd appreciate that!
