From the inception of the Milwaukee County Zoo at West Park in 1892; the citizens of Milwaukee have worked diligently to make it one of the finest zoos in the country. Their tireless effort and faith were rewarded. The zoo experienced many firsts; including the first polar bear born in captivity in North America; and was home to Samson; one of the largest gorillas in captivity. Throughout its history; the zoo also gained fame for innovative exhibit design. The zoo has flourished through the cooperation of Milwaukee County and the Zoological Society of Milwaukee. This public-private relationship has existed successfully since 1910.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. truly an autobiography--about eric sykesBy James LaMarEric Sykes tells a lot about himself; but very little about other people. I bought the book because people had called him the grand old master of British comedy writing. His humor is OK; but not much elicited more than a fleeting smile with me.The best part about his book; as it is; is the part when he tells about his physical ailments and how he overcame; or tried to overcome; them. As I am entering my 60s; I found this section very informative and encouraging.I found the book Terry-Thomas wrote much more informative and interesting.My copy has been donated to the local public library.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

A great manBy LiliMr Sykes was a great personality and from his book I deduce that he was a very good man.Towards the end; all the names get a bit much; but if you like Britain; Mr Sykes and his way of Comedy; you wll find a Story of 60 years British TV and Comedy.
