It was an interesting transition because I had only been working, after SeaWorld had bought the parks from HBJ, or HBJ bought the parks, or the Marineland park, excuse me, HBJ owned SeaWorld. They bought the Marineland park and then closed it, as I said earlier. And I was there for about a year, a year and a half, two years, maybe, and there was an accident where one of the killer whales breached on top of a trainer who was riding on the back of another whale. And they did an inquiry into the whole thing. And so the zoological director left and the general manager left and a whole bunch of people lost their jobs. And then, Ed Asper, who was an assistant zoological director, took over the whole zoological team, so to speak. And, of course, I knew him when I first started working at Marineland, ’cause he was still a curator there. And so he made me his assistant, which really didn’t go over well with all of the people that would have been in SeaWorld for a long, long time.
