And the good thing about it’s, they took field trips during Easter vacation and during the summer that would be like a week to 10 days long. And they’d take you out and we’d all collect together, collect specimens. Well, about this time, you know, in the junior high school, I got real interested in taxidermy. And I wanted to learn how to make, well, how to make mounts mounted birds and mammals and stuff. There was a course that was given at, that was called the Northwest School of Taxidermy in Chicago, Illinois was advertised in the back of mechanics, Popular Mechanics Magazine. And I really wanted to take that course, but my parents didn’t wanna pay for it. So my mother bought me a book by Oliver Davies called The Methods in Art Methods in the Art of Taxidermy. It was published in the late, late eighteen hundreds.
