So having a clean parking lot, having a parking lot is important, and having a clean one is very important in my opinion. Anyway, so during the summer, we did all these menial jobs, digging up broken shorelines and painting fences and cutting weeds and all this and once, about one of these young kids like me, one a week would quit, because it wasn’t the glamorous working with the animals thing. And to get out of the zoo in Slope Park, and to catch the bus, you had to go up over a hill to the bus stop. So we’d come in some morning and Joe wasn’t there. What happened to Joe? Well, he went over the hill. Meaning he’s gone, he’s outta here. And the old assistant director, Virgil Pettigrew, he was like a zoo foreman. He wasn’t really very scientific, but he’s the zoo foreman.
