More on Ed Bundy now that his safari fame is out in the open. His own words say it better: "I have been an avid big game hunter for many years and. I would like to be able to change my avocation into my vocation but homehow I have to practice medicine for a living. It all started several years ago with a hunt to Newfoundland. What followed were hunts in Montana, Wyoming, Northern British Columbia . . . twice to the Yukon Territory in the subarctic regions and twice to Alaska. Recently I have been concentrating on African game and my last safari was to Zambia in '67. Africa is the last great stronghold for big game on earth and it is by far the most exciting place to visit and to hunt." Ed practices medicine in Southington, Conn., and has two children, Darcie, age seventeen and presumably heading for Smith, and Scott, 14, a freshman at The Gunnery School in Conn. Disclaiming any financial interest in Zambia Safaris, Ltd., Ed serves as a U.S. intermediary and says "If there are any Big Green big game hunters who would like to go on the finest safari in Africa, I'd be happy to steer them in the right direction."

Bob Willcox checks in with "Lost touch with Dartmouth about 1964. Sent to West Africa (Ghana) to set up hospital for Kaiser, returning in late '65. Have been administrator of Kaiser Medical Care Center here in Hawaii since July '67." Now that you're settled in Honolulu, Bob, with a fellow '45 running the alumni club it's time to get with the Big Green activities again.

Until next month. . . .
