Wooten said, “During my short time at the aquarium I’ve been amazed at the level of dedication our volunteers bring, and how necessary they are for the aquarium to function so well. They are a fantastic group and have given me a very warm welcome. I’m looking forward to working with each of them and future volunteers from the community.” James comes back home to North Carolina where he grew up and went to college.
