No, it didn’t at all change how the zoo ran. Most of us, really were not too happy about the change. We were old school, or whatever you want to call it, stick-in-the-mud, I don’t know. But it was for fundraising. We had developed a development department to raise money for us, and we were the first zoo to do that. It gradually grew from one person to about 50 people. When we had this growing department, we had some people devoted on projects raising money from individuals, and some raising money from corporations, and some were raising money from government sources. The head of the development department at one point said, “Look, this is much too provincial to be saying, ‘New York’s Zoological Society’ if we go to San Francisco.” We had some contacts in San Francisco with our own existing board and said, “Look, if you want to sell the programs in San Francisco or wherever, you gotta have a name that works.” It didn’t affect us at the zoo, we were the Bronx Zoo.
