Dian Fossey. The Hall of Famous Americans Journal
Notes. Taking notes is very important especially if you are studying mountain gorilla behavior in the jungles of Rwanda.
The day she left to stand for hours in the Hall of Famous Americans as Dian Fossey my daughter decided she needed more props than her stuffed gorilla. A camera?
No. I am mean mother who would not let daughter borrow my camera.
A note pad? Did I have a note pad? I have tons of those…but I wanted it back as I am horribly forgetful and write everything in notepads.
Hannah looked very cute standing in the hall as Dian Fossey. Camo baseball cap, bitty stuffed gorilla and constantly taking notes as the PreKs, Kindergarteners, First and Second Graders filed past.
She gave me back my pad.
Her written observations….

· gorrilas are ruff
· Gorrilas are cute
· They will not be shot
· The poachers will not take them
· I love them
· They are black
· They have babies
All of which seemed to be true that day in the hall of the primary school with windows onto the still brown and wintered butterfly garden.

And there the journal ends….
I’m really glad my mother doesn’t read my journals. That’s a scary thought.
But not like I really read my daughter’s journal. This was my daughter acting as Dian Fossey’s journal.
( Because I camand her to? That explains so much)
