From the standing ovation when the 89 year young force of nature stepped onto the stage until the standing “o” almost 2 hours later, every moment was life changing. Her 60+ commitment, dedication and endless compassion is unparalleled, as is her humility and tenacity in protecting the planet along with wildlife, especially chimpanzees.
The heartfelt stories touched me so deeply and all in the audience. We laughed, we cried—tears of joy and sorrow—we applauded and cheered.
So grateful for all that she has done for over six decades. Next week she leaves for the Amazon! Simply amazing!
It was a 1000 miles round trip to hear you speak and share your life’s work and continued journey. Thank you, Dr. Goodall, from the bottom of my heart!
