I think my responsibilities, at least the direction that he had given me was a fairly simple one because prior to my arrival there, there had been, as I understand, I never knew the gentleman. There had been an individual who hadn’t done a very good job of maintaining the collection, had created some personnel issues and was not a player in the profession. I don’t think anybody even knew who he was. And as a result, he didn’t satisfy the goals and the missions of what the zoo had in mind. For instance, for itself, as well as for that collection, I think they wanted to get in who had experience at another institution and who was dedicated to the cause. And so, I pretty well had, it was cart blanche but my priorities were just cleaning up the mess and getting it straightened out. Getting the records together. Getting a system for managing the collection and managing the people that took care of the collection ’cause it was a little out of sync.
