Well said Lee. I knew a little bit about her, but just watched a recap of her life on CBS. In 7 minutes or so they sure impressed me. One amazing lady. So impressed with her. RIP.
I watched that recap too, Doc.

Here's another video on her beginning with the chimps.
I watched a bit of it.
I'm pretty sure it's the same one my sister and I watched when we were kids, from a National Geographic special.
