Hope for Animals and Their World: How Endangered Species Are Being Rescued from the Brink | Jane Goodall

I've admired Goodall since I was 13 & came close to meeting her twice before my dream came true. The 1st time was at the OSU. I was visiting my sister and a couple of days before I was set to fly back I saw a flyer that she would be speaking there the week after I left. #ReadJanuary #signed 👇🏻

WanderingBookaneer The 2nd time was when I visited Singapore. I was excited to go to the botanical gardens and see where she had her office. But I googled it, she was going to be speaking there and hour before I landed. However, when I learned she was coming to Puerto Rico, I told my boss I was leaving early to go see her. I made it clear that I was not asking, but informing. My smile (I'm the first from left) says it all. #HeroWorship 8y

Zelma Fantastic! I got to meet her in college as well. I'll try to post the picture today. I was an anthropology major with an interest in primatologist and biological anthropology, so I geeked out a bit. Barely said a word I was so nervous. 8y

RealLifeReading That's so cool! 8y

WanderingBookaneer @Zelma : My friend Marta and I giggled like schoolgirls as we walked away. Jane actually stopped what she was doing to look at us and laugh. It was amazing. 8y
