On Kipling
If you've never seen the movie, I highly recommend "The Man Who Would be King".
A Kipling story with Sean Connery and Micheal Cain. excellent movie. One of my all time favorites.

Same here.
Search high and low for it on DVD, and finally found it. One that I watch quit often.
On side note.....I sure do miss the Colonel.
Thanks for bringing this back up Holly.

IIRC a movie by the name "My Boy Jack" depicts the kippling family and the death of the son in WWI.
Very good movie, recommend it.

Just today, I was going through some PM's that Col. Jack and I exchanged. Even after downloading them at least twice and printing them out, I still can't bring myself to delete those PM's from my account. I just can't risk losing them.
Miss you Col. Jack.

I thought I was the only one. He sent me a nice email when my Westie, Fergus, passed away. I still have it.
