36. She delivered an address at my college.

Wednesday

Afterwards there was a question and answer session and I was lucky enough to ask her a question.

I have no idea what I asked her--I just know I wanted a chance to briefly interact with Jane Goodall.

A wonderful steward for the earth and its creatures. She will be missed.
