It impacted us in a lotta ways. First of all, Marlin Perkins loved to inspire young keepers. And if he recognized ambition in a keeper, he encouraged to read all he could, learn all he could and invited us to write signed copy, invite us the right information bulletins. There were a lot of letters would come to the zoo asking how to take care of various pet animals because of Wild Kingdom. They would write ’em to Marlin Perkins. So he would encourage to write information bulletins on how to raise baby animals, how to take care of pets and publish ’em. They were mimeographed for notes. He also asked us to help write answers to the letters that he got.
