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.
