I took my children to the zoo in
Atlanta when we lived there
20 years ago and Willie B
(the gorilla)
was alive. It was a
bad looking zoo and I thought
Birmingham had a better zoo
at the time. A few years later
Atlanta closed the zoo and redid it.
Amy is working in Atlanta
for the summer so we went to visit
this weekend. We went to Zoo
Atlanta today and saw the
Pandas and Willie B's
grandchildren. (Willie B died
of the flu in 2000. Over 8000
people came to his memorial
service. He was a beloved gorilla
in the Atlanta area and beyond).
