My Mom said were related to that Perkins nut from Wild Kingdom, but now I think she was just trying to keep us kiddies entertained.
I'm Marlin Perkins in real life. Before I got my show I was the milk man in your area. As Jim usually did the hands on dirty work - even back then before the show - you are probably actually related to Jim.

This guy would never have shot a bear. He understood the risks. He lived among the Kodiak grizzly bears for 13 summers. Timothy Dexter (Tweadwell) (he changed his name when he was a wannabe actor) was crazy but likeable. He videotaped himself talking to and about the bears for 100 hours. Werner Herzog and others put some of the footage together to create the movie. Some of the Alaska scenary is breathtaking. There are parts that are downright funny, without meaning to be. It is also somewhat ghoulish, but we skipped over some of that.

You should watch 5 minutes of this film to listen to his complete unwillingness to ever shoot a bear and his complete understanding of what they could do to him.
