You know, the biggest thing that changed for me, and I think you’ve probably heard this from a lot of people, is that the amount of time that I spent out in the community dialoguing about development fundraising. Because even if you were at whatever phase you were in, you did one capital campaign after another. We only had one year we actually didn’t build something major or open up something. Some of ’em times they’re behind the scenes, graphics and warehouses and quarantine buildings and things like that. But I found myself that every opportunity in speaking engagements out in the zoo to every meeting, even with the commissioners, it was all about making sure that they realized that no zoo is ever finished. We always need more resources. We always have bigger dreams.
