Yup -- that's Charles Ferge, a/k/a Seldom Seen Slim -- the original. For a photo of me standing by a portrait of him go to
www.nancyandjon.org/about.htm and scroll down to the fourth photos. I can't find that shot all by itself -- so look that way.
I've told the story about Slim and us and how we came to name the team SSS LSR -- it's someplace here in the archives. If you want to know -- dig for it. It's a fine story, and certainly makes our choice - make sense.
Best regards, and thanks for asking. By the way, for those of you that might want to know more about Mr. Ferge, go to
www.seldomseenslim.com - for a set of photos that includes the above one, as well as other shots of a guy that certainly spent way too much time in the desert.
