I, you know, I don’t think it’s critical, but I can’t imagine not having it. To me, every time I would be in a wild environment, you know, working with whatever animals, it’s a chance to, if you will experience the environment and you know, if you’re scuba diving, obviously you can see what it looks like underwater. Such that if you’re gonna display these animals, when you get back to Chicago, you can say, okay, we gotta make it look like this and don’t forget, there’s gotta be C fans here and this kind of substrate. And so you get that direct experience. But it was, you know, maybe it’s just me, but I love the field work. That was probably my favorite part of the job. And there was a time we were up on the Wolf River in northeastern Wisconsin and we were working with an individual out of the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee who was studying Lake Sturgeon. And the Lake sturgeon would go from Lake Winnebago, the largest in-State lake up to Green Bay.
