Well, fortunately the telephone, which today is still a useful tool, was always there. And we would call each other up if we had issues or problems. And once a year at the National Veterinary Conventions, the American Veterinary Medical Association, AVMA would have their meetings. And invariably, those of us that were interested in wildlife issues and medical items, we would get together for an hour or two and discuss the issues, the case reports, you name it, and that was kind of a clearing house for us. Today that’s come a long, long way and we now have boarded certified zoo veterinarians who’ve been through an intensive internship and residency program. They have their own professional organization, the American Association of Zoological Veterinarians. And again, it’s a pleasure to know that it’s come that far from the so-called country doctor, the Les Fisher with a black bag from his small animal hospital to nowadays an incredible physical plant that has been built at different institutions. And the animals get the same care that you and I might get in our human hospital, it’s wonderful.
