Many wildlife adventures with the Flints! They would come to dinner at the house with a baby anteater or sun bear who might have to poop in the sink! Good days at the Zoo with a really good guy!

Mike Flint was one of the most interesting men I've ever known. When our children were young, we spent many evenings in the Flint home while the kids had a baby anteater crawling up their backs and searching their hair for treats, or a bay leopard growling and cuddling like a tamed house cat.

My husband and I both have many wonderful memories of Mike from his long association with Reid Park Zoo. We took a trip to Zimbabwe, Africa in 1998 with Mike as our group leader. He was a caring & kind friend of all of the people & animals who were fortunate enough to know him.

A fellow Deerfield lineman. I was sorry to here about this
