Author, adventurer, and former mercenary leader Thomas Michael "Mad Mike" Hoare is still very much alive and turns 95 today. Tough old boot!

Didn't realize he was still with us. |

He's been keeping a low profile. He recently narrated most of his books on Audible.com (shameless plug: I absolutely loved listening to "Three Years with Sylvia" link )
and published a new book (to absolutely zero fanfare; I only found out about it by accident) called "Last Days of the Cathars." link |

Well, well, I also didn't think he was still with us. Happy Birthday to a "colorful" character of the 20th Century. |

I followed his exploits in the bad old Congo days with great interest. |

Perhaps he's having a quiet drink with Roland the Thompson gunner. |
