'I think it is great when zoo history is preserved. It is nice to be reminded that there may be something else of importance, besides an elephant and it's 30 some million dollar "habitat." It reminds us of a time when zoo were more then just a place to display animals. It was also a place to enjoy wonderful works of art in an outdoor setting.'
