Mr Woodcock, my name is Glenn Sullivan. We were
introduced by Scott Riddle when a few of us were attending an EMA in Florida in
2008. We were very fortunate to meet both you and Mr Herriot as you both took
the time and offered your hospitality at the Showfolks club. I will remember the
occasion with fondness as you and Mr Herriot shared stories from your career,
especially Mr Herriott having the 'floor' for most of our short visit. His
passion for circus and animals was evident in his vivid descriptions of events,
people and places of some things well before I was even conceived. I have had a
strong interest in circus all my life but unfortunately became a zoo guy
instead. After meeting you both it only further consolidated my interest in
circus and it's history. I have followed your blog since its inception and have
stored many photographs of Mr Herriot. I can see that he was an ol' friend to
you and I can only offer my sincere sympathy to you and to the Herriot family
and hope you don't mind sharing this with them. It shows how far reaching his
impact has been during his lifetime. I hope you and your family are in good
health and look forward to communicating in the future. Sincerely
Glenn

Thanks for sharing all of this
I have been to the main Taronga
Zoo across Sydney harbor several
times Glenn but never to Dubbo
Taronga is certainly of the best
animal parks in the entire world
