This page chronicles a hunting trip at Sha Mao Shan. The pictures were thoughtfully provided by Ross Bankson.

"Just mailed you off eight black-and-white photographs chronicling a hunting trip Walter Frohlich and I took to Sha Mao Shan outside Taipei. (Actually, it's two trips, in '56 and '58, I think, as differing hair styles show.)

I provided descriptive legends and a suggested order of appearance, if you think that would be helpful. "
