1981 Camden Herald, Camden, Me. This is how I got my start.  At school!  For the next 2 summers I spent my time walking the dogs at the shelter, and catching any sort of injured or stray animal I could to bring in to see if they could help them.  I remember walking miles with an injured Cormorant in a box that I caught by the harbor.
