The people were all, it was no problem if you had an animal, “Oh well, this animal’s gonna have to be watched, you know, all night long.” Oh everybody, “I’ll do it, I’ll do it.” You know, everybody was really dedicated. I don’t know whether that was just because it was a zoo, or just because it was the St. Louis Zoo, but it was a great feeling. You know, people didn’t think of it as, “Oh well, you know, it’s getting on. Oh man, I got another hour here before I get to leave.” You know it was, “Oh wow, this is neat. I can hardly wait till tomorrow.” Now, in St. Louis it was a fairly big operation.
