Today I can walk around the zoo and feel that it really is a wondrous just extension of the garden that exists in Lincoln Park next to it. So that goal has been achieved, even though I wasn’t able to do it, I tried. And I think the fact that even though I wasn’t instrumental in starting it, I certainly tried to help with the business of the women being able to move into our profession. When I came on board in the 50s and the 60s, you never saw a woman employee at a zoo. You never saw a woman at the national gatherings of the thing. And today the women are right in there, probably in numbers as much, if not more than the men’s, so there’s been a total switch. And I think happily the same is true of the minority representation. You could go to a national zoo conference with 1,000 people attending, and you might, might or might not see one or two black faces in the entire crowd of white faces.
