I got a card from Sabine. She said her recent tests have been clear and that she has just a few treatemnts to complete. Please remember Sabine in your prayers. She said Stephen broke his leg and was hobbling around on crutches!

You can send Stephen a get well email at "les.info [at] bamburi.lafarge.com" . (Replace the " [at] " with "@". Spammers scan blogs looking for the "@" to find email addresses). His snail mail address is:

With Saddness ...

noreply@blogger.com (Jimbo) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:08:00 +0000

It is with great saddness that I report the death of Dr. Zahoor Kashmiri.

Dr. Kashmiri helped rescue Owen and later treated the cracks in Mzee's shell.

Dr. Kashmiri, who was known by his friends as Zorro, was killed by an elephant in Ethiopia. You can read more and leave condolenses at:
