Well, I grew up in Minnesota, and you can probably tell from the Fargo accent. But I grew up in Minnesota, and back in the 60s and 70s when I was thinking about a career, Minnesota was the only state in the lower 48 that had wolves, with the exception of a few, like 25 maybe in Iowa, a couple here or there in Wisconsin. And so I was interested from the beginning with that.

You know, I'm kind of a wildlife person. They're the ultimate in a really wild and smart animal. They're a carnivore. They're social-like people. And I think I was denied having a dog most of my life growing up until I was about 15. So I had this passion for canines in general. I love dogs.

No, Isle Royale, which is an island in Lake Superior. It's actually technically part of Michigan. They walked over on the frozen Lake Superior ice in the late, like 1949, 50s, early, and they stayed and they got seated there and they had endless amount of moose to kill and eat. So they were kind of a wolf paradise with that. And is it still like that there? Yes.
