Hi RTS,
Good on the Carruthers side - do you have connections to BANGS- (your
msg also went to Bangs) - I host both Lists because both BANGS & Carruthers
were associated together in US NCarolina area.

A poem by the Rhodesian Pioneer John "Jack" CARRUTHERS
The road old Granddad made - 15-3-1929
Where Zambezi placid waters flow
In Africa's quiet neath warmly sun
No silent wilds will now a peace bestow.
My road gathers nearer day by day
Now to all the world an open way
"Tis the road old Granddad made"
In coming years Zambezi road then worn
And time has changed this whole domain
Remember when other thoughts are born
I'll be gone, Grand dads work will still remain
I can see you trail this road someday
The highway to Zambezi's future trade
Then viewing the hinterland you'll say
"Tis the road old Grand dad made"
