I remember Lonn - Doc will know for sure, but wasn't he a sort of "curator" of 
the place? He lived right across the road,
and had an office on the property, I believe. Whether or not it was really his 
office, it had an engraving of an armadillo
mating dance on the wall. I chanced to see just that thing happening one night, 
and was confused about what I had
seen until I looked at the etching. (They were running toward each other and 
colliding mid-air, not doing the obvious.)

How great that he was with Colbert!
