You're welcome. It's amazing to see the evolution of Akron's collection throughout the years. When I first started going (01 or 02) they were still more North America oriented as Legends of the Wild wasn't open yet and Komodo Kingdom was years out.

I was only 1 or 2 but I know my family had photos of both Akron and Cleveland from then. I'll have to do some archive digging
