And Rhodesia Calls.
In June
Pierre van Riel quit the band and was replaced by Paul Nissen (guitar). Four
Jacks and a Jill left for a two-week concert tour of Paraguay and also appeared
on television in Rio de Janeiro. The band, who were very fond of Rhodesia and
involved in conservation efforts there, performed
free of charge to 240 delegates at the 50th anniversary symposium at the Wankie
(now Hwange) National Park in August.

Unfortunatetly, I did not have any more on the anniversary other than a list of delegates that included members of the University of Rhodesia, Wild Life Society, South African Parks Board, Members of Parliament, Director of Rhodesian Parks, Forrestry Commission, Zoologists, television, veterinary research, Ted, Connie and Gerald Davison, National Museums, IUCN/WWF African Elephant Survey, Publicity Associations, Tour Operators, and many more of a list of 240, together with cuttings from newspapers and Rhodesia Calls.
