Dale: Lots of ideas and lots of mistakes. I want to key in on one word you said, many are coming here to buy land and build a home because it’s healthy, healthy environment. I use those words in managing Great Smoky. That my job was to maintain that, health of the park and the health of the services that we provide visitors. If either one of those are not healthy then we were failing in world class management. So when I spoke to the business leaders in the community who own the businesses and were making money because of visitors coming, I reminded them I’ll be supportive of your community, of your business to make sure you have a healthy opportunity to be successful, to make a living, to create jobs. But you have to remember that you have to take care of the health of the park. “The Golden Egg” as we call it. If the park is not taken care of pretty soon the land value will drop back down and people will start going other places, so everyone needs to understand the park is the value and the health of the National Park is the most important for all those other things to happen.
