on a hiking trip with my dad and brother in Scotland doing the Rob Roy Way. To all the Scotsmen on the board I’d like to say: what an amazing country you live in. The quietness, nature and space is breathtaking and is exactly what I miss in a densely populated country like the Netherlands.

This looks wonderful.  I'd love to do that hike - how long was it?

The total is 124km. We did something like 20/25km a day. It’s amazing!

From what decade was this ? 40´s, 50´s ? Brew Moore had a crew cut. And Al Haig hat something like that in the lowest row right, the "Professional Contour", that´s how Al Haig had it if I look at it. 
"College Contour" looks a bit like Nazi look in my opinion......

There NEVER was apartheid in Swaziland. The impetus of the creation of this school was anti-apartheid--it was originally built in the Republic of South Africa to enroll white and African students together, and was then banned and moved to Swaziland to be rebuilt in 1962. My family arrived the week that Swaziland gained its independence from the UK and we were the first American family to live there--my father was the first Director of their Peace Corps program.

We had spent two years in Ethiopia prior to that, which was a wonderful experience as well. But the three years at Waterford Kamhlaba were perhaps the most important in my life. I was the only American at the school (my siblings were too young to attend) and there were African, English, Indian and Portuguese students from a number of African countries, and the only drawback was that there were only about 12 girls amid 120 or so male students. I had the best education of my life and the best cultural and social experience of my life--it shaped me in important ways.

Neat trick, new book with a forward by a dead guy.

This has been in heavy rotation on various channels we receive ... I certainly prefer the original.

Fine photo, even if Bud is not shown on it. But such a personnel, Bud with Miles and Konitz and Blakey must have been a gas, anyway I like Bud most when he ist together with horn players and a strong drummer. 
As for example Bud with Miles at Carnegie Hall, or Bud with Konitz on a broadcast I think from Leonard Feather, which had also J.J. Johnson, Budd Johnson, Little Benny Harris and Max Roach.......

[jazzbo]

Bud is supposedly pictured in the left. Do you feel that is not Bud? I've blown the picture up and it certainly looks like Bud.

Harold Vick? Max Roach?

@JSngry, I think Randy Weston is on the left and Max is in the middle.   

I don't know who the man is on the right.
