Jim Morris speaks about the making of the John Carter movie. |
It was most interesting to hear about the shooting locations, the challenges faced by the actors film makers. |
The audience is most attentive, waiting with bated breath for the answer to the most important question: Will there be a sequel? Mr. Morris replies that there WILL be a sequel, but not right away... |
Jim Sullos introduces the special guest whom so many have been waiting for: Ms Jane Goodall the keynote speaker for the 2012 Centennial Dum-Dum! |
As a prelude to her talk, Ms Goodall demonstrated the appropriate chimpanzee greeting. She then placed her forehead against Jim's chest and he had to pat her in acceptance. |
Ms Goodall speaks with humour about how her early childhood experiences and adventures, was led by her curiosity for all things. One example was her waiting in the hen house for hours to find the answer to the question: How does the egg come out of the chicken? |
Ms Goodall credits her mother for encouraging her to fulfill her curiosity. . . |
Ms. Goodall's captive audience. She delivers her message in such a gentle voice and a fine sense of humour. |
Lane Batot watches his mentor Ms. Goodall - like all of us - with admiration for her life's work. |
Ms Goodall credits ERB's Tarzan of the Apes for her passion for Africa. This led her to Africa, to study the chimpanzee, and to establish a reserve to protect this species. . |
There was absolute silence over the capacity crowd of ERB and Ms Goodall fans during her speech. Ms Goodall received a standing ovation for her speech, and a resounding chorus of tarmangani yells that must have rattled the DJ's turntables at the wedding next door! |
Ms Goodall leaves her appreciative audience enthralled with her inspiring talk. |
Jim Sullos returns to the podium to thank the evening's speakers and to offer them a few surprises. |
There are many chuckles at Ms Goodall's descriptions of chimpanzee antics. |
