Mr. Davis. He was a 92 year old canadian employee at my LFS in Maryland called "the aquarium depot". The store closed down about a month or 2 ago and am afraid he may have either passed away or i will never see him again... He invited me to his house from the fish store and gave me my first "big tank". Never forget that man. He had a whole fish room setup.

I totally forgot the name, but I talked in length with the guy who ran the amazon and Australian exhibits in the Baltimore National aquarium, I may have actually convinced him to get some bichirs in one of the African tanks haha. He was awesome though, oversaw all the tanks in both exhibits, kept them clean and even had to go swimming in them a couple times haha

In 1976 begged a middle aged man named Joe Cordaro to let me work in his pet department I finally convinced him, so he paid me under the table because I was under aged. If it was'nt for Mr. Cordaro probably would have gave up on the tropical fish hobby.;)
