I also realize that a weakness, the small size of Lincoln Park was a strength. When I lived in Riverside, that was right next door to the other zoo in town, the Brookfield Zoo. And at that time they didn’t have a full-time doctor either, and so there were times I’d get called to go look at a sick animal at Brookfield. And in turn, when my daughters were little, it was a five-minute drive from our house in Riverside to go to the Brookfield Zoo. And we would take the kids there at times, go to the Children’s Zoo and things. And that was, as I recall it, probably 160, 180 acres compared to my 29. And I could get tired out just spending a few hours there with the kids, and only see a part of the zoo. At Lincoln Park you could come there for 30 minutes, or two hours, or a day and just walk around and enjoy as much or as little as you wanted to, and it was doable.
