Once upon a time, Richard and I did a lot of gigs, but as middle age and diabetes took control I have become a virtual recluse on the lecture circuit at least, and apart from the WW, Uncon 2008, and the three talks I gave in Texas, I haven't done any for years. However, Miriam Palfrey, a long-time CFZ member and a long time supporter of the CFZ persuaded me months ago to do a talk in Reading library, and I am so glad that I accepted.Richard was in the audience, more as happenstance than by design, and - completely off the cuff - whilst discussing the Patterson/Gimlin footage I invited gothboy onstage with me to do his ape impressions, and for the rest of the evening it was the Dow
nes/Freeman show circa 1999 - something we have not done for over a decade. And it has whetted my appetite.

In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.

We were there and very entertaining it was too, though the final question about what to feed a baby squirrel found in a local park was the most surreal part of the evening!
