Mr. Eastland would present the demographics and marketing opportunities, but finance questions went straight to Mr. Klosterman.  'Bob was a genius with numbers,' says Mr. Eastland ... It was in July 2003, as they were completing agreements to purchase two parks, that Mr. Klosterman died suddenly of a heart attack ... Mr. Eastland lost his friend and business partner of 10 years... As they [Great American Family Parks management team] took time to regroup, one of their parks in negotiations went to another buyer.  But Great American was able to acquire the Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain, Ga., under renegotiated terms.  It's a start, and the team has identified 40 other potential parks."
