Backstage at the Columbus Zoo
Columbus, Ohio has one of the best zoo’s in the country. When Jack Hannah inherited the zoo as director in 1978, it was a mess. But he built it up with his charisma, vision and fantastic fundraising, and even by staying late to help pick up the trash. What he built extends beyond what you […]
