Staten Island Zoo was well insulated from external politics and problems, and inside, there wasn’t much of political problems. I was given pretty much a freehand by Vincent Gattullo, who was, as I said, an educator and a biologist. But he eventually left, and a new one came in, who couldn’t tell a moose from a mouse, sort of. And he went around and around, one day, going around the zoo in a golf cart, so I said, tell you what.
