Heartfelt thanks to the chimpanzees’ long time friend, Donna Hughes, for sponsoring this day so dear to her and her sister, Doreen.
“August 21, 1979 …..The Day Doreen and I moved to New York City. Best thing we ever did. Got to enjoy the Big Apple, with all that it has to offer. Music, theater, art, events, sports, available to us at all times. However, it wouldn’t have meant as much without our pets along the years to share our lives, and of course, Central Park. I miss my dear sister, who passed away in 2019, but still celebrate this day, as she asked me to always do so. It will be spent in Central Park, and I know we can see a blog today with the chimps enjoying nature as well. We both love CSNW, and cherished the day we visited in person. Have a great August 21!”
We think of your and Doreen’s visit to the sanctuary often, Donna, and it means so much that you continue to celebrate your special days with the chimps and all of us. As the chimpanzees wander Young’s Hill and sun-dappled greenhouses, and you wander Central Park, we’re wrapping you and Doreen both in all the good thoughts. May your heart be full of memories magical and wondrous.
