Earlier this week my childhood buddy, Steve Simmons, called and asked whether I'd be interested in attending a presentation at the Victoria Theater on Saturday.
Here's what Google had to say about it:
"Primatologist Mireya Mayor will be speaking at the Victoria Theatre in Dayton, Ohio. The event, part of Dayton Live's Perspectives Speaker Series, will focus on Mayor's experiences as a primatologist, explorer, and National Geographic Channel wildlife correspondent. Mayor will share her journey from an NFL cheerleader to a world-renowned scientist, including her co-discovery of the world's smallest primate in Madagascar."
His wife usually attends these events with Steve but she had a scheduling conflict on this day. Steve knows I'm interested in nature and science so I was a good fit.
The presentation was called "Pink Boots and a Machete".
Mayor is known for a number of TV programs including Expedition Africa, Wild Nights, Cuba - A New Island, Mystery Gorillas and currently Expedition Bigfoot.
The program lasted about an hour and a half. Both Steve and I enjoyed it very much. Mayor works without notes and has a very personal style.
