Show RL JO EPH A TORO 28 2 04 AN: One thing that I enjoyed about that Riverboat is they had two Au tralian black swans there. They were hostile. You'd get near them and they d attack and p ck at you and everything. I finally taught the male to walk with me along the banks. I'd call him and no matter where he was he'd come over to the shore. He look at me like, "How come you're bothering me again?" Then he'd crawl up and go to peck me and I'd grab him by the neck and settle him down. Then he'd walk around with me.

I really did. I'd call, "Here, Garth!" And he'd come. In fact, Sorenson and his family were out there for dinner one time and he was asking about the swans because he really loved those swans, Jim Sorenson did. He said, "How's the swan?" I said, "Old Garth?" "What's Garth got to do with it?" I said, "That's what I named him" (laughs). BEC: Well, okay, after that you finally retired for good? SAN: I did about six months with Jeremy Ranch but it just wasn't working out. I told them, "I can't do this." I don't know whether I was just getting too old and battle shocked. I just didn't like the way that they structured the company.
