Devil Ken Metcalfe

Jerry,
In December of 1969 I was flying a DC-3 for Phillips Petroleum when I had the occasion to stop over in Cairo. We stayed at the Cairo Hilton and upon my arrival at the hotel I saw across the lobby by the pool a young man facing the opposite direction with perhaps 5 or 6 young ladies around him. Although I had not seen him since 1963 I immediately thought "Ken Metcalfe" and sure enough it was. I don't remember a Bristow connection but I wouldn't be surprised. Ken was one of my favorite people within the international aviation community. Would love to run him down. Just keep an eye out for someone surrounded by lovely young ladies!
