The humans thought him unworthy of his early flight in the novice capsule. Ham never got a shot at Gemini or Apollo like so many of the super seven. I don't know how it came to be, but Ham lived out his retirement and senior years at the North Carolina Zoo, a new facility at the time and innovative in terms of reasonably natural habitat. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/ricc/PAW+2007+and+1982/25ham.jpg.html> <http://tinyurl.com/3aszzt> Ric Carter http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/ricc/ _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
