The Zoo's Facility Operations Division is responsible for pretty much everything in the park that isn't an animal or a plant. The dedicated people in this department make sure the Zoo looks its best and runs smoothly. Today, Who's Who talks to Lawrence Greene, a lifelong Clevelander who knows where all the action in the Zoo takes place.
