Hey, Mark!

You've been posting in plain text before now -- could you go back to it?
I think I have a copy of the NGM in question, but it's packed, and the box
it is in is the most buried box in the room. (Details available upon
request.) If you ask me to look it up in late July or early August, I
should be able to access it then.
Last I heard, Jane Goodall was still alive. Have you ever seen her in
person? I did once, I was in junior high or high school, and she was
speaking at a college near where my grandmother lived, and since my sister
and I were visiting our grandmother and a couple of her friends were
going, we got to go with them. I missed going to see her the time she was
speaking at UT Austin, but a friend of mine went to that one.
