4 September 1989, 1315h

I've posted this here before, but this is a much larger and color-adjusted version of the group photo of the participants of the V. International Otter Colloquium. And there I am at the very tip top!

So many of these faces are still familiar to me, but I can't put names to most of them anymore, alas. Some I do still recognize: C. G. van Zyll de Jong, Addy de Jongh, Paul Polechla, Liam Sullivan, Pat Foster-Turley, Ralf Röchert, Shiela Macdonald, Jim Estes, Chris Mason, Claus Reuther, Clarence Wright, Adrianne Faber. A handful more names are on the tip of my tongue, but they're just not coming to mind.



There was also this slightly different photo that appeared in the local Wittinger Kurier newspaper on Thursday the 7th. Despite the picture and headline, though, the article is mostly about a national politician who gave a speech at the colloquium on its opening day. Neither the topics discussed at the meeting nor its attendees are mentioned at all. Strange.
