Well, I only stayed for 3 1/2 hours before the heat and humidity got the best of me! I hope the cooler temps this evening bring more people out to the Zoo. I knew that only a handful of the WAKY greats would be there and I got to see most of them: Mason Lee Dixon, Johnny Randolph, Rudy Ratfink (Ben Pflederer), Mark Strauss, and Bob Moody. I'd hoped to see Mike Griffin and especially the Duke of Louisville, but the heat on top of ongoing breathing problems kept Bill Bailey away. I took a few pictures I will get to JQ to be posted on this site soon.

Max, for those of us (like me) who are hundreds of miles away and unable to attend these wonderful events, it's always nice to get a taste of what we missed via photo images, and you are generally in the right place, at the right time, with camera in hand. Many, Many Thanks.

You are more than welcome, Travis.
