So I’d already had a place in terms of forwarding those developments within the zoo business. And I wanted to obviously continue in that fashion and I didn’t really have any substantial input from the likes of Peter Crowcroft, although, with his substantial background, in terms of being an Elton student, and I don’t know whether you are aware that he actually had University of Chicago press a number of years later published his little book on Elton, the Elton ecologist crew that he was part of. But it’s an interesting little volume with all of their personas really illustrated in terms of what they did and what they accomplished and the foibles on the side. But Peter, despite that background, and his museum background, his obvious special interest in conservation of creatures he cared about, didn’t pass on any insights in terms of how to foster further developments of that kind by me. So I didn’t have any real advice in respect to how to proceed. As I say, I’d had to experience some of, so to speak, taking the slack when he was absent much of the year before I became director.
