Another Calgary Zoo Post

I studied Anthropology at University. My main interest

was Archaeology but a number of the areas interested me

including physical anthropology (focusing on bones), early man,

and Primatology. Strange the study of still living people was not

big on my list. I settled on Archaeology and worked in the field

for close to ten years it was during this time I meet my wife. I also

developed a real interest nature and isolated areas since field work 

often takes place in fairly rural areas.  Finally we both decided

to do something else and a friend suggested we consider becoming

Librarians (thanks Tim ).

But I still maintain my interest in the subject and for me the

fate of the great apes is one of the most potent symbols of man's

inability to nurture and share our world.

you dwell less on what is past and

concentrate more on the preservation

of the future."

Only if we care will we help.

Only if we help shall they be saved"
