It's been a long time since I've gone through your gallery. I am always amazed by what I see. This is wonderful and tells a story.''Is this a gorilla or a chimp? I had the good fortune to see Dr. Jane Goodall in person at a lecture/book signing last month and she blew us all away. What a wonderful woman, scientist and storyteller she is all wrapped up in one tiny little package with a huge heart. #7380040
