What is the story behind Bob and the Tiger?
Many of Bob’s readers have seen the picture of him wrestling a tiger (on bottom of page) and asked about it. Like many of us, when Bob was going to College, he worked to pay his way. One of the positions he had with a home show promoter, was to host special guests such as Playboy’s Miss April 1963. The picture of Bob and the Tiger was taken on his 21st birthday, when he was engaged to work with a 400-pound Bengal Tiger and do daily shows at the Edmonton Home Show. Bob learned first hand how to work co-operatively with a larger, more powerful force and the value of being prepared. He also learned first hand the value of persuasion and a more gentle approach to leadership and teamwork working with GT.
