I hope, just as I’ve remembered now, that, of course you wonder exactly, A, who remembers you, and B, how, if they did?… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 352

As a good dad, that’s one, as a good husband. And then the other, as the person that was in a very special situation at a point in time when the zoo in Waikiki could have continued as simply a bird park. It could still be a bird park right… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 350

How would you like to be remembered?… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 348

It’s a hugely rewarding profession. The biggest new opportunities I see is to follow the fact that, in many ways, it’s more difficult, and in other ways, it’s far simpler. The simpler way is that knowledge is hugely available now on the internet by Googling both the availability of that… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 349

As Peter Scott told me, he said the big thing I think, Paul, is that what zoos can provide in conservation is way more than just raising a few to be released in the wild, and restock depleted populations. That’s important, but depleted populations are depleted usually for a reason,… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 346

Absolutely, it is. One of the finest things that has happened in Hawaii is that since the nene was established, which we helped to do in 1957 by the legislature, two years before Hawaii was a state, it’s become that endangered endemic bird. Our Hawaiian geese have become the symbol… Read More

What do you know about the profession that you devoted so many years of your life to?… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 345

Is there a significance to that?… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 343

Why?… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 344

Zoos are necessary for the same reason that music is a necessity and art is a necessity. It’s just no man lives by bread alone. And the whole, the role of zoos, as I see it, is to further an understanding of the entire world of nature, appreciation of nature,… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 341

Well, in terms of elephants, our climate alone is an enormous benefit, where the minimum temperature is 58, so that you don’t have the severe problems of both heating and cooling. In terms of providing a stimulating and adequate environment for them, our zoo is doing that now. They built… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 342

Are zoos necessary?… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 339

I think the major advice I would offer for marketing, as well as it’s related, dealing with public relations and the media, is get to know the people you’re dealing with as individuals, invite them and their families on their time off, which maybe it’s inconvenient for you, but invite… Read More

What is your view regarding the topic of zoo’s maintaining elephants in their collection generally, and then specifically the Honolulu Zoo?… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 338

What are the most important aspects of marketing in your opinion?… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 336

I have not… I’ve been real lucky that the grotesqueness that people laugh at, used to laugh at with animals in, for example, dressing chimpanzees in human clothing and that sort of thing has never been a significant, I’ve never been involved in. The decency, the nobleness of the adaptive,… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 337

Any advice for the newified zoo director about the importance of marketing zoos?… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 334

To be involved with, to be meaningfully involved, truly accomplishing an important purpose is challenging. I think to be internationally involved is to join the agencies, World Wildlife Foundation Fund, but the other is to become active in getting to know, at least, as a paper person, your Congress and… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 335

What changes have you seen during your years in the zoo field regarding visitor attitudes about animals?… Read More

Interview 15334 – Caption Index: 332

I think the biggest difference is what we’ve, that the skill set that a zoo director needs today is a greater ability to deal with non-zoo, non-animal people. I think animal people, as long as a zoo director familiarizes himself as well as he can with the available information about… Read More
