Dion Albach would go on to be the Director of a smaller zoo in NY (I think Rochester) and then the Mesker Park Zoo in Evansville. He died at a relatively young age in Evansville. Nice guy, at one time a professional diver in water shows.
Mr. Perkins was probably packing his belongings to move the STL about the time of the photo.
