The hiring of Dave Ehrlinger, our first horticulturist, if it wasn’t a first in the zoo world, it was among the very few zoos that had a professional horticulturist on staff, and Dave was an excellent person to work with. He left the zoo after I did. I think he’s working out in a botanical garden in San Diego, in the San Diego area at the present time. But Dave really was a wonderful person to work with. In fact, it was funny. George Rabb, the director of Brookfield hired him away from me, and first thing George did was give him $5,000 for artificial plants for Jungle World, and Dave turned around and came home. He came back to Cincinnati.
