My dad USAF Lt Col W J Gary, first Air Attache to Haile Selassie, bought (1958) and raised that lion named "Simba". in our home! The part shepherd was named "Kitch" and we lived near the bottom of Roosevelt St off Mexico square down from the tobacco factory, near the creek. The pair was left w/owner and friend of Guenet in a much larger "run" or large pen. I have the story of how it became a horrible cage. We returned to Addis in 2003 to see for ourselves. I have lots of photos and Christmas Cards with the pair posed along with the family! Interesting story...I have the correct version involving the Ambassador's wife.<BR/><BR/>MGDM'Liss & Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127358494030369637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-55563667162514584002007-08-31T14:06:00.000-04:002007-08-31T14:06:00.000-04:00Tom, Sean: Thanks!
