Ba basically it was managing, it was much more than just veterinary. It was managing the entire collection. So here was this 24-year-old coming straight out of VE college into, you know, into a situation where almost immediately I had to manage, I mean, there were what they call overseers. There was no curator, but what you would call a curator today was, you know, was called an overseer in those days. But again, they were largely, largely farm background people. Very, very good, very practical, but, but not, with, not a huge amount of knowledge apart from their own experience of the zoo. So I was thrust into the middle of managing in the, in the broadest sense. But the veterinary side of it, of course, was particularly challenging because we had, there was no established, there was certainly no established zoo medicine at the time.
