\"Jim<\/p>\n

Jim Fowler, left, one of the world’s best known naturalists, has presented information about wildlife and wilderness to the American public on television’s Wild Kingdom for more than 40 years. On the right is me.<\/font><\/p>\n

Never know who you are going to run into at the zoo. My daughter and I went to the local zoo for “Earth Day” and was surprised to meet Jim Fowler. He came to give a talk about wildlife. It was early and he was signing autographs so we stood in line to get one. I was carrying my camera, never without a camera at the zoo, and a woman asked if I would like her to take my picture with Jim. So I did. My Dad never missed a show of “Wild Kingdom,” and his love of nature was passed down to me.<\/p>\n

Meeting Jim was indeed an honor, he is a kind, caring individual that loves animals. He took time to sign autographs for all that wanted them.<\/p>\n

After we met Jim Fowler we went on to photograph lions, peacocks, and other creatures.<\/p>\n
