When he was 'just' David

Reading Killy Birder's post about Sir David Attenborough reminded me of one of my treasured possessions.  As a younger (yes, and slimmer and more hirsute) man I had delusions of being a wildlife photographer (if I'd known then what I know now!!).  I wrote to Mr A as he was then over 30 years ago and actually got a handwritten response.

    Very nice to have something like that. All I have is his signature in a book.

    Replying like that to you says everything about the gentleman that he is, i imagine.

    Have to agree that's a nice memento from a great man, and to reply with a hand written note is something special.
    Hirsute does that mean you had a beard ?
