And the practice, sat down with the people at the practice and told them that I’d like to kind of take a leave of absence if you will, to try this zoo job. And hopefully if it didn’t work out that I could come back to the practice. So that’s what developed there. And come October 1st, there I was the new zoo director at Lincoln Park Zoo. And for me, a total major change in work and life. And lifestyle took a major hit in the salary because as I remember it vaguely, the salary at that moment in time in history was $12,500 a year. And I was making many, many times that in practice, my wife was not thrilled about this concept of the economic situation, but I was able to get some further ongoing income from the practice, and decided that the money wasn’t the main motivation at that moment in my life, and I wanted to do something almost you might say a public service. So I proceeded to end up at Lincoln Park as a zoo director at that moment in time and never had a regret in looking back.
