Over 50 years ago in 1973, my junior high school class got to go to a lecture by Jane Goodall. She was kind enough to take a group photo with us.
That's me in top row second from the left with the giant bow tie.
May she rest in peace.

Juneteenth is just 9 days away!
The thought of many gov't employees getting a paid day off to celebrate the end of slavery must drive Dictator Trump and his racist enablers crazy!
