Was there more than just talk about opening a facility in Westchester County and perhaps acquiring the Catskill Game Reserve. Over the years the society considered a great many possibilities as I suppose any alive institution filled with ideas and hopes would do. We thought about finding a farm up in Westchester County. We looked at state parks that the state was willing to make available to us, but felt limited by the climate constraints in this area and that is one of the reasons we were so keen about St. Catherine’s Island down in Georgia. We considered a major new kind of institution, which was to be called The Great Biosphere that was down across from the World Trade Center. And we thought we had funders for that, but in the event, these funders had very serious problems and had to withdraw from the project and the state was interested, but they were dependent on outside funders so that was the end of that one. We’ve had several opportunities. We thought at the aquarium and they all failed to go forth.
