No.
Everybody just kept coming back?
During that time, I think I even make a comment, yeah, there’s a comment in the chronological history. Anyway, there was one season that every interpreter, I’d switched to interpretation by then, had come back that year. Among the patrol rangers there was no turnover at all for several years. Down at the entrance station, it was a bit more turnover and some turnover in maintenance. But, overall, it was a very stable time for the park. People loved their jobs and there was a lot of enthusiasm. Mr. Rouse had a lot of respect. I’d show a slide program and he’d say “Larry, I got some pictures you need. Come on over after work. I need to talk to you.” So I’d go over to his house and he’d have the slide projector all set up. He says “Are there any slides in here you can use?” He’d flip through them because he was at Teddy Roosevelt and some of the other parks. I needed some prairie pictures for Steel’s reading that article on the plains. That was one particular thing that I didn’t have any good prairie photos. I had taken a meadow picture and he said “That’s not good enough. You need a prairie picture.” So the one I have in my program is from Jim Rouse. I needed some elk pictures and he had all that stuff. He saw the need for that. He did it all on his own, a very kind individual.
I guess he’s going to retire this July.
