The most difficult areas to get the public to respond to, of course, were sewer renovation and underground repairs and the nuts and bolts of the zoo operation. Our zoo had been so neglected. We still had, if you can believe this, and probably we should have preserved them, we could have probably put them in the Smithsonian. We had wood lined sewers in parts of the park. Well, you know, if a server collapses in a zoo on an August day, you’re in real deep trouble. I was gonna use another word, but we’ll just say trouble. Particularly even hard, difficult with the politicians that they would get that on a ballot, but we brought them over and we demonstrated the problems and they were not problems that were directly a result of our operation, but they were problems we inherited and needed to be addressed.
