Murray E. Fowler recounts his very full life and career and includes information about his ancestors, parents, siblings and immediate family; growing up as a Morman in Utah during the Great Depression; his
time in the Navy as a pharmacist mate; attending college; and his involvement with the Boy Scouts of America. Covering a span of nearly 70 years, Fowler pleasantly leads us through his hundreds of encounters with a
large variety of domestic, zoo, and wild animals in both the United States and abroad. His varied experiences include caring for movie animals belonging to such stars as Zsa Zsa Gabor, Ronald Reagan, and Roy
Rogers. The recipient of numerous awards from zoological societies in both the United States and Europe for his outstanding contributions to the field of zoological medicine, he has also written extensively for many
veterinary journals. He has served as editor for the Journal of Zoo Animal Medicine and as a reviewer of zoological medicine topics for JAVMA. His autobiography is an impressive record of his dedication
to--and great love for--all animal life. |
