    Congrats Sarah. You must be so happy (and relieved) Now we get to see how the chimps will react to the newest member of our tribe. And thinking about Van’s life – growing up with the chimps nearby. What a remarkable life it will be. Take care.

    Here’s a pant hoot to Sarah and family on the arrival of Van. What an amazing family Van’s been born into, I can’t wait to hear how the chimps react to Van and hear him cry for the first time. Wow, this has been a great month for CSNW: the auction event, Jane Goodall visiting Seattle and baby Van.

    Congratulations Sarah, Jamie, and Ryan. And welcome to the world Van. It is going to be a wonderful life for you with a big brother to show you the ropes, a Mom and Dad to keep you grounded and loved, and the chimps to teach you all about everything else. Happy days to the Baeckler-Davis family!!! 🙂
