Hey Mister – Your Alligator’s Loose! is Gary’s collection of stories from his time in “zoobiz” – starting at the Kansas City Zoo at Swope Park, to Fort Worth, Texas, to the World Famous Topeka Zoo. Gary shares some unbelievable zoo moments – like a somersaulting giraffe, the “missed cue” at the opening of the Gorilla Encounter, a lion cub attack, a near-lethal snake bite, rolling out the red carpet for noted dignitaries, and the terrific support the zoo had from the Topeka community as it grew. Gary will share these memories as a thank-you to the citizens of Topeka, who were the real force behind the Topeka Zoo becoming the World Famous Topeka Zoo. Topeka Public Library
