With Sea Life, that was a fascinating thing. One afternoon in the ’50s, a young couple with two little boys, toe-headed kids came in. The couple were in their early 20s or mid 20s, and they’d called and made an appointment. And so we met out on the lawn. And at that time, we didn’t have the classy building that exists now, we had just a tiny entrance building. So we met out on the lawn and this woman said, “I know you, I was referred to you by Chuck Bogart at the American Museum, the reptile curator at the American Museum in New York. He’s a friend of my father.” And of course I said, “That’s great, who’s your dad?” And she said, “Well, my dad’s name is Phillip Wiley.” And Phil Wiley was a bestselling author of a number of books during the ’40s and ’50s. And he wrote a serial for the Saturday evening post that continued on and on with a couple of guys that ran fishing charters out of Miami called Crunch and Des.
