Anyway, Quentin and Ibrought that baby giant panda back to the United States and named it after Su-Lin as a way to say thank you to both Jack and Su-Lin Young for all of theirassistance.Finally, I know the reason that the first live giant panda seen in the UnitedStates was named Su-Lin.Now you also know what most people remember about Ruth Harkness.Yes, I do.44
Fifth Script (Quentin Young)Interviewer:Quentin Young:Interviewer:Quentin Young:Interviewer:Quentin Young:Interviewer:Quentin Young:Interviewer:Quentin Young:Interviewer:Quentin Young:Interviewer:Quentin Young:Interviewer:Quentin Young:Interviewer:Looks like it is time for our last guest.I guess you saved the best for last.If you say so.So what do you want to know?I want to know about your explorations in China.I went on an expedition in China with a woman from the United States. I thinkshe was just here.You must be talking about Ruth Harkness.Yes, that is correct. I was with her when Su-Lin was found. Did she tell youabout Su-Lin?Yes, she did. She said Su-Lin was the baby giant panda you found and tookback to the United States.Ruth told you that I found it?She said that you both found it.I guess you could say we both found it. I was the one that actually heard thebaby giant panda’s cry and pulled it from the bottom of a hollow tree.You were? Sounds like you should have gotten all the credit.I share the credit with Ruth because it was really her mission, inspired by thedeath of her husband, to find a giant panda. I would not have been out in thatbamboo forest if it weren’t for Ruth. She was a very brave and courageouswoman to travel to China to search for a giant panda in the thick bambooforests.I hate to cut you short but it looks like we are out of time.I understand. Thanks for having me on your show.Thanks for being willing to come and talk with us. In the future, if I hearsomeone telling the story of Ruth Harkness bringing back the first live giantpanda to the United States I will be sure to tell them that she did not do italone. She had the assistance of a young man named Quentin Young.45
