    Jane Goodall, a scientist whose studies of wild chimpanzees made her a household name, has died at the age of 91, according to an announcement posted by the Jane Goodall Institute.

      I met her when I worked at a bookstore where she was doing a signing. She was absolutely lovely and gracious and spent far more time than she needed to chatting with all of the folks (like me) who worked there.

          Like you all, I loved her too.
          Interestingly, the younger sister of my closest hometown friend, Kit Morris went on to work with her (I remember their house always smelled of monkeys, even when she was very young. Tolerant parents)

          Kit worked with her for a good while, but eventually went on to get an MD (reminding me I really ought to try - again - through her to locate my friend, Terry).

          BTW When I was at Stanford, on the bulletin board, they had photos and bios of the grad students in Psychology, and one was an unbelievably beautiful blond (like Jane Goodall) whose passion was gorillas (Penny Patterson). I think she has several books out now about her "adopted daughter", KOKO. Look them up if you're interested.
