Today is sponsored by Marcia Douthwaite and Marcia’s friends and colleagues at the University of Washington Department of Neurology in loving memory of Marcia’s son, Dane, who passed away a few weeks ago after a long illness. Dane’s birthday would have been celebrated today. Dane and Marcia shared a love for all primates and Marcia says that photos and videos of the Cle Elum Seven brought both of them great joy during Dane’s last few weeks. We’re so touched at this tribute and we’re all thinking of you, Marcia.

Marcia and Friends,
You have my deepest sympathies on the loss of someone who was so important and so dear to you.
May the chimps, many who have also lost their babies, continue to be an inspiration and joy to you, as they were for Dane.
Marcia Douthwaite says
Thank you for your kind thoughts and your loving care of the chimps.
