Commander Joseph Cheesman "Snake" Thompson
was Hubbard's mentor and one of his greatest influences from childhood.
 As early as 1917, Commander Joseph Thompson spearheaded efforts to
establish the infant Zoo as an educational institution. He began by
delivering Saturday afternoon lectures at the Park Boulevard cages.
These lectures eventually expanded to cover other natural history
subjects. http://www.sandiegohistory.org...[The full size photograph was supplied to The Journal of San Diego History through the courtesy of the Zoological Society of San Diego. Commander J.C. Thompson was an elected Vice President.] |
