Today, Dr. Jane Goodall gave her talk Reasons For Hope at FAU’s Arena — which incidentally, isn’t much of an arena — and it was a great experience. The talk about an hour long with nearly 2,000 in attendance. I’m guessing at the attendance but they were still packing people in when there was already 1600 in the sort of packed gym. She talked about her work in the Gombe Park, Tanzania, her work with Dr. Leakey — yes, that Dr. Leakey — and her efforts in environmentalism and sustainable living. Overall, the talk was moving and rather motivational. I did applaud her with tears in my eyes over her stories that the related to us. Truly, I can’t describe this in words. I’ve watched and listened to this woman since I was a kid, old enough to know what a monkey or gorilla or a chimp was. Sadly, I couldn’t stay for the book signing for different reasons.
We managed to snag a few up close shots here.
