I had a garage apartment two blocks from the zoo. I could lay in the Murphy bed and touch three out of the four walls and put my foot in the bathroom and had a Triumph Motorcycle and thought I was king of the world. And I worked in what was called small mammal department, which had giraffes and polar bears and gorillas and chimps and orangs, an interesting title. And I worked there two summers. The next summer I worked in the large mammal department, which was a tremendous hoofstock collection. It had 32 species I think at that time and exposure to rhinos and elephants. And San Antonio is not that huge. It still does have a very large mammal collection.
