Hamilton Hittson moved up into the park director’s job. After that happened, he calls me up. He says, “You know Jim Brown, he’s our superintendent, we need a director. But I can’t call you a director at this time, but we’re gonna call you the general curator. Would you come work for us?” I said, “Well, I’ll come over and talk.” The Fort Worth Zoo was moving. I mean, they had, were getting new animals, building new exhibits, not a lot of money, but progress. So they offered me a job. Well, I’d been at Dallas Aquarium for seven years, and then I’d been at the zoo for two years.
