Freds Funnies True story: April Fool’s Day is approaching. When I was a young accountant one of our senior accountants came in asking me to call a phone number and ask for L. E. Font. I called the number and it was the San Antonio Zoo. I asked for L. E. Font and was told he was not available but do you want to make a donation to the San Antonio Zoo?
