Oswego Pete

When I was looking for the traits that the characters in LOOKING FOR THE EASY LIFE would have, my search led me to the Fundacion Santuario de Osa in Costa Rica, a place where injured wild animals are rescued and brought back to health. This little Howler Monkey and I bonded right away, and he became part of the inspiration for Oswego Pete. Poor little guy was hurt, just like Pete.
