Lady Evangelynn Longfellow Kipling
Lady Evangelynn Longfellow Kipling is a lover of animals. She received a most special invitation from King Albert I of Belgium to the Virunga National Park, the protected habitat of the mountain gorillas. She was intrigued by these quadrupedal primates during this, her first African expedition and has been heard to repeat “Mmmm ummm.”
Evangelynn has a special place in her heart for the African lion. Her admiration and love for the king of the jungle is evident throughout the home she shares with her one, true love - her husband, Sir Lawrence David Kipling. Her collection from their travels, can be found in many rooms throughout their humble abode. Back in the day, the Kiplings would often be found at sunrise floating over the Maasai Steppe in Northern Tanzania in search of these powerful, big cats. They were often fortunate to have these expeditions coincide with the migration of the wildebeests. Such a site. A fine advantage to traveling over the bush was avoiding the possibility of being caught in the middle of one of these creatures’ stampedes. Doing so might not necessarily have a positive outcome. A special treat at the conclusion of these high flying adventures was partaking in champagne breakfasts once they landed in the grassland. Most enjoyable.
The Kiplings’ adventures of lately have focused on regions around Eastern Asia. Lawrence and Evengelynn have high hopes to return to the Fortress in the Mediterranean Harbor outside parts of Tokyo in the next few years. During their next excursion they plan to leave behind a relic honoring the Corps and commemorating their visitation to the headquarters of S.E.A.
