Due to back surgery, Lois and I could not attend Vern's service. However, we have thought deeply about our dear friend. So many wonderful memories of working with Vern at the zoo. We had some great years and Vern's contribution to the Columbus Zoo was so important to its development. All the best to his family and friends. With Sympathy, Jerry and Lois Borin
