I would love for you to thread or do an article on your early days in those pet stores,and more details about the "wild west " pet shop era,you know I just can't get enough of this...thanks ted

Hi Ted,

Thanks very much for the kind words; much appreciated; and the feedback..glad to hear the silk leaves worked well for you. I would like to do an article as you suggest, thanks...balancing writing deadlines, but will keep in mind. You might enjoy the book Jungle for Sale...story of Harry Trefflich's import business, which I just caught the tail end of; he supplied most of the country's zoos and pet stores; a friend wiorked there for many years...you could see giant anteaters, gorillas and such at his place..a building in lower Manhtn; monkeys loose in the streets at time, etc...best, Frank
