Me, JP and the Prof
Last Friday my classmate Jean-Pierre Jobogo Mirindi submitted the final draft of his thesis, had a little celebration on Saturday night and returned to the Congo on Sunday where he is a ranger in the extremely dangerous Virunga National Park, where gorillas and rangers are frequently murdered (200 rangers since 1994!).
It was a small send off, only Professor Tom Hayden, head of the department of zoology in UCD, his friend (she took the pic) and me. Tom's book, Exploring Irish Mammals, is the definitive work on the subject, and if you'd like to hear about one of the more extraordinary cases he has dealt with follow this link www.rte.ie/news/2006/1018/drivetime.html
