Frank P Thompson the African adventure photographer
A Chicago eye specialist, Dr. Frank P. Thompson, is profiled as a lifelong friend of the Adventurers club who spends half the year photographing African wildlife. He is noted for charging elephants and hippos when needed, for bringing back a giraffe neck head trophy, and for hiding his exploits in modest, non boastful terms. The piece also references political commentary on President Truman and Gallup with a sardonic closing remark about voter expectations.
