Meeting Dr. Goodall


Me, Kayla, and Dr. Jane Goodall

During the little bit of time back in Cambridge between going to Naples and Paris, Kayla invited me to be her guest at a dinner at St. Catherine's College in honor of Dr. Jane Goodall. A once in a lifetime opportunity to be sure, to meet someone like that. So for the umpteen millionth time here in Cambridge, I found myself in a fancy dress headed to a big dinner. Jane started off her talk during dinner by doing a chimp call, and wow, talk about a great imitation! Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse (in my opinion) later, when she said that if she could have one wish, it would be for a new US presidential election with a different result - I hate it when things get political, everything gets weird. But aside from that, the dinner was lovely, and it was fascinating hearing about the work she's doing.
