Well, Earl Wells, may he rest in peace was one of my mentors. He also helped lend me the gig in, in Lincoln, Nebraska. He was a wonderful mentor. You know, he was probably the most impactful mentor that I had. My biology teacher in high school, Mr. Smith, may he rest in peace, was a, a mentor of mine. And he encouraged me my entire adult career. And I even went back to him when we were designing some new habit habitats at, at the Lincoln, at, at the zoo in South Bend, Indiana where I started. And he was a teacher in South Bend. I, I turned to him and said, I need some help on some ideas for some interpretation and things like that.
