And then maybe when I was 30 or 35, I would be in a position to accept or think about curatorial level spot, and then maybe 5 or 10 years there. So in my 40s, I might be experienced enough, wise enough to be a director. So I started as a keeper at 18, and then at 23, I went to Fort Worth in the supervisor, curatorial level. And when I was 24, I got the chance to come to Topeka, which much too young to be zoo director, but I took it. I wrote a four page letter telling ’em everything that I felt was wrong with the zoo, knowing they would say, oh, well, we can’t do all the things you wanna do. So thanks, but no thanks. And they said, yeah, you’re right. Come on up. We need help.
