Jane Goodall has Passed Away

[H2O Man]

38. An amazing human being.

Recommended, of course.

Jane was a student of Louis Leakey, who recognized that her interest in primates -- especially chimps -- was vital for an understanding of early hominids. Another of his students, Diane Fossey, studied gorillas.

My older daughter, who currently lives in Europe with her husband an 1 year old, has loved Jane since she was little. She had met with Jane a few years back. Anyhow, my daughter sells paintings for money to pay for airline tickets. This morning -- and their mornings come earlier than our's! -- she was doing a painting of Jane. I the sky at the top, on one side is the sun, the moon on the other. In between, she put an hour glass, as Jane had told her that time is running out if everyone does not do their part to restore nature -- including human nature.
