She resigned because yeah, it was in 2005 and the Post wasn’t letting up. It had nothing to do, I honestly believe it had reached a point where it had nothing to do with the zoo. It was all directed at her and the fact that they just didn’t like her. I mean, the reporters that were going after her just didn’t like her and they didn’t let up. And she finally, I remember she came into the meeting and she said, “I’m tendering my resignation. I mean, this is the only way the zoo’s gonna move forward,” and then that was basically it. Now, was it during this time that you had an interview with the Washington Post, you said, “The zoo has become a stepchild and the Smithsonian was falling apart.” You had attributed to deteriorating facilities and a stagnant collection. Was this story that time.
