Well, I've always been attracted by bones and I was already interested
00:04.970
00:00:09.730
in them by it and time I was in the 4th grade not earlier.
00:10.420
00:00:13.732
Growing up down in Buloxi, Mississippi and the Gulf
00:13.732
00:00:17.780
Coast used to pick up any kinds of bones. I could
00:17.780
00:00:21.828
find on the beach or the barrier islands had quite a
00:21.828
00:00:25.876
collection of them by the time I was in high school.
00:27.480
00:00:35.400
My parents were very encouraging that are at least permissive my.
00:36.010
00:00:43.095
Mother was willing to accept a rattlesnake in the freezer at one point
00:43.095
00:00:50.180
but mostly my specimen stayed out in the backyard or in the workshop.
00:53.230
00:01:00.608
I guess the first manatee, I ever saw was one in in captivity in
01:00.608
00:01:07.986
Bradenton, FL their Snooty. He is called and he is still alive and in
01:07.986
00:01:13.783
captivity. There today is the oldest manatee in captivity. I think
01:13.783
00:01:21.161
he's about one year, younger than I am, but he still a popular draw
01:21.161
00:01:24.323
there at the museum in Bradenton.
01:26.310
00:01:33.960
Well, I guess to do the kind of work. I do you gotta be you gotta have
01:33.960
00:01:39.360
a good deal of what the Germans Calls? Its flash patience perseverance
01:39.360
00:01:45.210
you don't mind the tedium because it's what you'd rather be doing than
01:45.210
00:01:50.610
anything else. So it takes a certain personality profile. I guess to
01:50.610
00:01:55.560
put up with that work or in fact enjoy it but.
