And so I got into vet school and then, you know, four years later, and then of course married Marie. I’d met Marie when we were in undergraduate school at Central State College and met at a life-saving class, chemistry class. And then we got married six days before I went into vet school and she was still finishing up her degree. And, so, when we, you know, when we got ready to graduate, you know, four years later, I was, I was the only, I was the only guy in my class, the only who graduated without a job. Everybody else in the whole class had a job. And, and I had actually been offered a couple of very good jobs, but not in the zoo world. There just simply were no jobs in the zoo world to be had. And actually I had gone to St. Louis, you know.
