Over the years, readers have known my admiration for Jane Goodall (here and here). My hero-worship dates back to high school (late 1970s) when I first knew I wanted to be a field biologist.
Dr. Goodall passed away today.
The autographed book and two personal letters from her I have in my possession are that much more treasured now.
Rest in peace, Dr. Goodall. You'll never know the impact you had on this young high schooler.
