And he interviewed them both. The gentleman from, the curator, the general curator said he couldn’t live in the South and he withdrew. And Dr. Schroeder actually offered the job to the gentleman who was also a veterinarian like Dr. Schroeder and was the director of a large Midwestern zoo. And when they got into the salary negotiations, the guy said, “I can’t work for that,” and he withdrew. This was probably July maybe when this was all going on. And so one day Dr. Schroeder asked me if I had a resume. I said, “No, you know, I’ve only worked here.” (laughs) He said, “Well, I need a resume.” And I said, “Well, why do you need that?” He said, “I think you should apply for this job.” And I said, “Oh, Dr. Schroeder, you know, I’m not.” “No, I want you to apply.” So I had to find somebody, and it was a neighbor’s wife, to type the resume ’cause I didn’t want any of the- Mehrtens had three secretaries. (laughs) Three.
