Today I had the delightful opportunity of meeting fellow Padder ***Dougie Young*** and his wife Silke. Herb joined us at the Wild Animal Park for a picture perfect morning of photography and good conversation.

Dougie has had a pretty incredible life; over 4000 parachute jumps as an example! He's a Scot and she's German. They live in Hanau, Germany which is near Frankfurt. It is great to make new friends from across the seas.
