Oh, I had one of the best ones you could ever have at one point with a local reporter. Her daughter volunteered at the zoo, so the daughter knew sometimes before I did about something. I’d get a call from her mother, but the mother was nice enough that she would read over the story before she turned it into the editor to see if it was correct. That’s not right on her part probably, but it made for great, accurate stories. Oh, I missed Miss Jenny. I won’t mention her last name ‘cos she’s still a reporter in another town, but I was very lucky that I always had good relationships with the reporters. And in the end of my career, I will say it was interesting that because people liked to hear the stories from the people who are taking care of. Man, a lot of stories that I did in the early days, you know, you get passed down to the curators, to the supervisors, even the keepers.
