I had not read the thread so I missed what you were referring to exactly. Sorry about that.
But in Unrepentant Sinner I thought he made it REALLY clear that he had no liking for JO at all.

Askins was pissed that his old man got the can, and wasn't replaced by Elmer Keith (who was a personal friend of their's). He blamed O'Connor and held that grudge till the day he died.

Travis I have the book and Askins does make it clear that he did not like JO, but he didn't say exactly why, other than JO took Maj. Askins place at Outdoor Life. If it was Outdoor Life's decision, and they thought J. O'C could do a better job, then I don't see why the Col. should have held it against Jack. But, if as reported on these threads, Jack did tell Outdoor Life that Keith and the Col. were writing Maj. Askins articles, them yes, I could understand why Col. Askin would hold a grudge. I don't know that it happened that way, or that it didn't. I am going by information posted on these threads. I don't have first hand information, or facts.

Elmer told me that he'd written several of Major A's articles, which Mrs A read to him for his approval and modification when the old man was incapacitated, but he never said anything to me about how OL, JO'C, and Charlie may have been involved in that arrangement.
"Good enough" isn't.

Dave I did, true Ken. Check out his first post (about the 3rd or 4th post in the thread). He mentioned that 'Hell, just got fuller' about Askin's death. You can say what you wish about Ken, but that was some SERIOUS foreshadowing....

� What gives you the idea that he killed babies??? Charlie's favorite PH in Africa was also at times a mercenary. Charlie liked the occasional opportunity to quit hunting four-legged critters with him, to go hunting two-legged critters (ivory-poachers, rebels, etc) instead. Once, they wiped-out a party of poachers, and it was alleged that they found a live baby among the men's and women's bodies and killed it rather than take it back to a village. True? Untrue? I have no reason to believe or to doubt the allegation. But the story has made the rounds, and some have eagerly welcomed it as another insight into Charlie. I wonder who the PH was he is referring to. I know he hunted with the guy I hunt with, John Sharp, and he was a Bush War vet.. I'm betting they were good kills...
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I thought that Ken's unfounded acusations were uncalled for, especially when he claimed to like Askins, which in my opinion wasn't true. If Ken had trueluy liked Askins, he would not have bad mouthed him as he did. Nothing that Howell claimed was backed by a single fact.
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

THIS IS THAT THREAD. The quote that Jorge put up was from an older thread where Ken howellderided Askins is what I am searching for.
