But I wasn’t seeing the community come back and support the zoo. And understandably, I mean, they, they got knocked and they had to recoup themselves, but at the end of four years, it just wasn’t happening. And the director of the zoo had left and a new director had come in and I, I just kept looking at it going, we had so many great opportunities to do stuff and it’s vanishing and I don’t see it coming back When I left four years after Andrew, we still hadn’t rebuilt the aviary, couldn’t do it. And we were fighting with insurance companies, didn’t have the, the funds to, to create that aviary. Again, that was one of the, my opinion, it was one of the best aviaries in the United States. So Dade County had grown really big. I had 25,000 employees, and they decided they need to thin the ranks out. So they offered early retirement for those employees that had over 20 years.
