I have images of him, vague but images of this large animal in the old monkey house. And you know, “How would you remember Bushman?” “He was,” (babbling) but just as a kid ’cause we were there every day. So that was really my upbringing was Lincoln Park Zoo, literally as a child. You are lucky. I’m wondering, you did mention in a previous writing that your cousin made it possible for you to start your zoo career. Well, yeah, here’s what I tell people when they say, “I wanna work at the zoo,” “I wanna work at the aquarium,” or “I wanna be with animals.” I always tell them that I can tell you how I got there, but everybody’s path to get to the job you want is gonna be different. So you can’t duplicate what I did. You can do it differently, but you can’t duplicate it.
