Yeah, the past people I worked for were more micro-managers I felt. I also groomed as many keepers as I could to be potential curators, gave the opportunity to our keepers to become all they could. Just as Marlin had encouraged me, I tried to be the best encouragement I could to the rank and file keepers that they be the best they could. And then if they could, we created zoologist positions. That was kinda new but that Marlin had had at Lincoln Park. Zoologist is a position that’s a curator-in-training. And they go from zoologist to assistant curator to curator. We spun many of ’em off that went off to other zoos.
