A couple of weeks ago, I was able to make one of Sean’s dream come true. I got us tickets to see world renowned primatologist Dr Jane Goodall speak at the Unique Lives Series at the Orpheum Theatre.
For an enthralling hour, Dr Goodall’s spoke about her family, life in Africa and what led her to her extraordinary quest working with Gombe chimpanzees, which was followed by an audience Q&A session.
I was wowed by the fact that just days shy of turning 80, she remained so vibrant, articulate and so very passionate about her work and the legacy she will leave behind. I would love to be so full of life when I’m that age.
Following the talk, there was a book signing. Sean raced downstairs before the final ovation to secure an early place in line. Which was a great idea, as the lineup snaked from one end of the lobby to the other. Everyone wanted to meet this legendary woman.
Sean, most of all. For Dr Jane Goodall is one of his personal heroes and has been ever since he was a little boy. He even got to hold her hand and say a few personal words to her.
It’s always special when you meet someone so inspirational. And it makes me happy that I was able to help set that up for Sean. What an amazing human.
