how do i make the audience know how beautiful the animal is? and they re touched and moved. and i feel like i made a difference too. i left in january of 2010, a month before dawn passed away. she was, like, a safety guru. i mean, she was always double checking and making sure that everyone was doing the right thing. so i remember she would record every show that she did and she would watch it and critique herself. and she was constantly trying to be better. when i found out it was dawn, i was shocked. that could have been me. i could have been the spotter. what if i was there and i could have saved her? you know, all these things go through your mind. john sillick was the guy who in 1987 was crushed between two whales at seaworld of san diego. now even though i had been working at seaworld for six
