He went on to be curator of reptiles at Atlanta, but he started here, and I said, you know what, I mean, I knew he was a reptile guy, ’cause he was in Fort Worth when I knew him. We don’t have many reptiles here, but we do have a lot of experience at our res, so he hand-raised our first jaguar cub here. A lot of things like that, it was very important. Paul Linger came in, young graduate and started out here and became curator, assistant director and then eventually went to Denver, assistant director. John Wortman started here too. He went to Louisville and then back here for a while and then to Dallas and then to Denver. And Mike Le Roux of course came in. And I just felt it was important to let them have the professional freedom and responsibility to do what they needed to do.
