We sat in a wooden shed around the back of the house where Tim kept some of his old Loch Ness memorabilia. We chatted about Loch Ness (of course), and I answered lots of Tim's questions on my Congo expedition (1985-6). It was a really great day that I shall always remember. He was gone too soon.Bill Gibbonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772375641936111396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-35035736204301912572017-05-19T15:15:15.389-07:002017-05-19T15:15:15.389-07:00Yes it was and a mammoth was up to 11 feet at shou...Yes it was and a mammoth was up to 11 feet at shoulder height. A bit of an understatement then.<br /><br />Why did Tim think Whyte's book was courageous? As I recall, she was a GP and her husband was a manager on the caledonian canal. Publishing a book on a "joke" subject like Nessie would not exactly be a career enhancing move for either of them.<br /><br />As for money making, she wrote it having no idea whether it would make much or not. <br />Glasgow Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597014995112568086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-48353643024864632432017-05-19T11:13:38.185-07:002017-05-19T11:13:38.185-07:00Well, Dinsdale wasn't exactly a stranger to hy...Well, Dinsdale wasn't exactly a stranger to hyperbolic description...ekmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919739097113214608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-62560641969582088832017-05-16T12:07:10.044-07:002017-05-16T12:07:10.044-07:00Plenty of old stuff out there - if only people wou...Plenty of old stuff out there - if only people would let us at them!<br />Glasgow Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597014995112568086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-82190219783950060302017-05-16T11:16:12.215-07:002017-05-16T11:16:12.215-07:00I have to admire the things you find from the past...I have to admire the things you find from the past Roland.
