Oh, totally different. When I was the animal keeper stopping out, you know, I’d see him walk around the zoo and I’d nod, but that first summer, we didn’t talk until that last day really. And the second summer maybe talked a few other times for a few minutes, but he was getting reports. They had a long term superintendent of mammals, Raymond Figueroa, that I’m sure gave him reports on how I was doing. And he was a great task master. You know, he was good at hiding those golf balls in a pin If you didn’t find ’em, you weren’t cleaning the pin right. And I learned about flocks and always double checking and how important that is. And Raymond was also just a good hoof stock person.
