Christmas Greetings from 1991
A letter and enclosure from my friend Barry Hall, then living in the Masai Mara in Kenya. For those who can no longer read handwriting, I transcribe:
23 Nov 91
Dear Tom and Val,
Fucking Christmas again init! How are things? The enclosed picture is a cibachrome print from an Xray – Local Massai(sic) went on a cattle raid to Tanzania was shot in the head, walked over 300ks back in to Kenya to hospital to have the arrow removed. The opperation(sic) was a success he went home a week later – was a bit put out – terrified in fact; by the picture of his head.
Thought you would like a print.
Life’s much the same – few commercials – Fishing lots and painting I’m happy to say – Family’s fine –
Love to you and Val.
Barry + Beth
