Vince "Trapper" Nelson (born Vincent Nostokovich or Natulkiewicz around 1909) was an American trapper, hunter, and zoo founder. Though he was born in New Jersey, and lived in Mexico and Texas, he is best known for establishing a homestead-turned-zoo on the shore of the Loxahatchee River in Florida. Filled with exotic and wild animals, his zoo was a popular tourist spot in the 1940s and 50s, visited by local and national celebrities. Because of this, he became known locally as "Tarzan of the Loxahatchee".
The zoo was eventually shut down by State health inspectors in 1960. After his zoo was closed, Nelson became a hermit and suffered from undiagnosed health problems. In 1968, he was found dead from a gunshot wound in his cabin by a friend. His death was ruled a suicide. Nelson's campsite is now known as the Trapper Nelson Zoo Historic District in Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Hobe Sound, Florida.

"Wild and Reckless"
Written and Performed by Blitzen Trapper
Directed by Rose Riordan and Liam Kaas-Lentz
March 16 — April 30, 2017
Previews are Mar. 16-23 | Opening night Mar. 24
A World Premiere!
Blitzen Trapper mined their lyrical storytelling and Oregonian roots to create a story for the stage that fuses the energy of a rock concert with the imaginative possibility of the theater. Wild and Reckless traces the unforgettable tale of two kids on the run, in a futuristic vision of Portland’s past. Evoking a bygone era of Portland, this sci-fi dystopian love story features a rock-and-roll score that marries previously unreleased songs with favorites from the band’s catalog, including “Black River Killer” and “Astronaut.” Portland Center Stage at The Armory commissioned Wild and Reckless as the second world premiere in its new “Northwest Stories” series, dedicated to developing and producing stories about, or by artists from, the northwest region.

Remarks/comments:
Q. J. Stephenson was a trapper and dragline operator. While on the job he had a knack for spotting fossils and relics and began amassing quite a collection of found objects. He actually became somewhat well known around the country for his ability to make important paleontological discoveries, and one of his finds, a 4 million year old walrus tusk, wound up in the Smithsonian.
When he retired in the '70s, he started work on his Occoneechee Trapper's Lodge. Also called the Earth Museum, the lodge was a small one-room cinder block building in front of Stephenson's house that he began decorating by embedding the interior and exterior walls with fossils, stones, bones, petrified wood, cypress knees, arrowheads, Civil War relics, and other items from his collection.
In the '80s, Stephenson started transforming some of his finds into statues of imaginary creatures, constructed of concrete and relics. He also made plaques and other works of art out of concrete and found items, and continued to decorate the museum, both inside and out. Eventually his work began to spill out into the yard (like a couple totem poles and a dinosaur statue.) He wound up having a fairly successful second career as a folk artist.
Q.J. died in 1997, but his wife has maintained the museum. Unfortunately, even when Stephenson was alive, the museum was only open by appointment (and then usually only to school groups and scout troops.) Now, the museum is rarely opened, but there's plenty to view from the outside. On the day I was there, Mrs. Stephenson wanted to check the new roof for leaks and invited me in. The single room is packed, from floor to ceiling, with Stephenson's collection and his art.
While waiting “fur” the sale, this enterprising dealer spent the time working on his artists’ portfolio.

Company: Mead
Year: 1978
My first Trapper Keeper (pictured) was in 1988 when I was in 3rd grade.
Trapper Keeper is a brand of loose-leaf binder created by Mead. Popular with students in the United States, Canada and parts of Latin America from the 1970s to the 1990s, it featured sliding plastic rings (instead of standard snap-closed metal binder rings), folders, and pockets to keep schoolwork and papers, and a wrap around flap with a Velcro closure (originally a metal snap closure).
Trapper Keepers usually had a theme, such as a cartoon, television show, or video game. Between 1988 and 1995, "Designer Series" Trapper Keepers featured abstract designs and later computer-generated images.- Wikipedia
