FWCZ Orang Keepers '96-'97

Check us out! High in the treetops of Orangutan Valley in the...


The Dillys in the front row are Craig Bonham & myself.
The hotties in the back row are Susi Bollinger-Eloph (former head keeper/Indo supervisor extraordinaire),
Kim Marsh (who later had our former boss's baby), and Michelle Lemberg.

Ask yourself, why am I the only one who looks alive in this photo?

Ok, here's another one where we're all kinda into it. Dig it.

Woo! I got some more group shots courtesy of Michelle, so here they are... a little bigger, but better quality. Pat Hebert the orang-groupie shows up in photo #1 and Dan Eicher (former zoo supervisor) is in the other two:

Photos (mostly) taken by Pat Hebert, November '96.

Interestingly, none of these people currently work with orangutans at the Ft. Wayne Zoo.

Janji (R.I.P.), Melati and Tengku!

Here's Jacquie, a really cool person who worked at the zoo the year before we got the Orangs, or she woulda been an O-Keeper, too. She's groovy as hell, and last I heard she got married, but I haven't talked to her in probably 7 years. Doh!

This is a siamang (small ape in the gibbon family) who is the coooolest primate I've ever met. His name is Gus. Say hello. I have this picture in my wallet.

This is a spectacled langur monkey named Lee who shit on me. Really.

peace!
