troubles in Africa, that you have the same daily frustrations that we 
have here, and that there is considerable tension in life over there as 
well as here. I guess it's probably the old adage of the greas being 
greener in the other man's pasture. 
Thave received a copy of Sue Harthoorn's book about her life with 
Toni in Kenya. Ihave got about half way through it; it seems to be 
very interesting, particularly for me since I have met both the Harthoorns. 
All of which makes me think that John Seago and Tony Parkinson could 
write a much more interesting book. 
Elizabeth and I have had the baby white tiger in our home, raising it. 
As usual my wife, “mother tiger",is doing a magnificent job of 
raising this little fellow. Incidentally we do not think that the tiger 
cubs get the use of their eyes until they are about six weeks old. This 
has caused us a good deal of concern because we thought we might have 
had some blindness in the baby. As you can understand, five generations 
of direct line breeding gave us concern about possible hereditary faults. 
Fortunately it looks like nothing is showing up. 
Kindest regards to all of you from all of us over here. 
Sincerely yours,
