You always have the most wonderful photos, Pee Wee. Just curious, what's the story behind the key in the "Memories of Africa" frame? It looks like a hotel room key but I can't read where it's from.

Sugerfoot,

I still have that key, right here in my office. That was the key to my stateroom on the African Enterprise.

Bob Nolte, Billings Montana; Nick Charles and myselft share the stateroom.

Once again, thanks for sharing the information and the pictures - would have been wonderful to have been a part of those caravans.
