118P Remembering Dr. Nasr Marei
This photo by Nasr Marei, reminds us of what a gifted artist he was. But he was much more – a passionate breeder guiding his family’s 80-year-old Albadeia Stud farm in Egypt, a popular judge, inquisitive traveler, the warmest of friends, and a true gentleman. We remember him on pages 118P and 124P of this month’s Pyramid Society Yearbook.
