Elsa's Memory
I have, throughout my life, treasured the true story of Elsa, the Adamson's and of the offspring Elsa never got to raise. I even skipped school to see the movie, daily, in our city for 2 weeks.Many people never seem to realize the fight or struggles that the Adamson's endured with their plight in preserving wildlife and more so the challenge of getting Elsa back into her free heritage. George's murder, like Dian Fossey years later, depicted the ruthless diplomatic and political controversies they were challenged with as well as with the tribes who had yet other ulterior motives.Bill Travers, who depicted George Adamson in the movies 'Born Free' and 'Living Free', son is an honorary chair to the BORN FREE USA Foundation which is trying to keep wildlife where it belongs......in the wilds and not in zoos; circuses;research labs and heaven forbid, our own back yard. site can be found at: www.Born Free USA.comFor everyone who has never seen Elsa....I would recommend getting all the titles and bring her, her cubs and the Adamson's into your lives. I know there was, or is still another edition of the 'Free' collection...Forever Free as I saw it in my teen years in book format, I believe. Along with the Adamson's, 'Born Free', 'Living Free', Bill Travers can also be seen in 'Ring of Bright Water'; and you can also view Dian Fossey's fight over the mountain gorillas in 'Gorilla's in the Mist'Yes, Elsa.....thank you for the memories, the tears and joys we encountered but your return to the wilds would set the stage for many years to come...
