Thanks Ray. I’ll pass that back pat on to my staff. I am the first to admit that it is they not I who makes all this possible.
And of course people like you deserve a pat on the back too. West Boggs today is operated under a unique management strategy in which 100% of funding for staff, supplies, construction, utilities, etc., etc., etc., is paid for by visitor fees. We have not had a tax subsidy since 1996. So the reason you find our approach to visitor service different is because we fully depend on keeping visitors happy in order to keep them paying. It’s an old concept called capitalism, which I do hope other park systems pick up on at some point.
