Keith‘s daughter, Gabriela, is turning 17 today! I can hardly believe it!! Keith is the founder of CSNW, so I’ve known Gabby since 2003 when I first moved to Washington and started working with the chimps at Central Washington University. She’s a beautiful girl (woman!?) with a silly spirit and always has a smile on her face (and if there’s not one, I can make it happen :). I love her and her brother Teddy so much, and think of all of the LaChappelle family as part of my west coast family. So, the happiest of birthdays to you, Gabby! Hope you come visit your friends in Cle Elum soon!

Here’s a photo of one of my favorite moments with Gabby’s favorite chimp, Foxie:

    Happy 17th Birthday Gabriela hope you have a wonderful day. It must be great to see the work that your father and everyone else at CSNW has done and are continuing to do to maintain the best possible lifestyle for the CE7.
