Oh, that would be wonderful. Thank you. It was one of the most important encounters of my childhood and set me on the path I still find myself on.
His vitality, curiosity and absolute ability to be interested in what a child had to say struck me immediately. What a better world we might live in if we all treated each other (and children) with the same curiosity, respect and ability to inspire!
I don’t seem to be able to correct my 1083 however that would make him nine hundred years old. He’s one of the few humans who deserved to stick around that long, don’t you think?
Yup, he can stick around forever. I had hoped Jane Goodall might stay a bit longer, but what a beautiful, beautiful life!!! I will send this out later this afternoon after I deal with a few more business details. ... THANK YOU.
When I was 10 in 1083, I got to spend the day with him
In Richmond Park.
He asked me to join his gang. What he shared is revealed in my very first Substack post :

He definitely is an icon and hero for Mother Earth and all her children. Happy 100th Sir Attenborough. 💜
