One of the great joys about exhibiting at these shows is you get to meet many fascinating people. This flamboyant eighty something woman was one such person. Here family lived in Kenya when she was a young girl. At the age of 11 she was attacked and almost killed by a Lion. The pin you see on her jacket is actually a claw (with gold mount) taken from the Lion who attached her! The villagers were ordered to hunt and kill the Lion after the incident.
