It was in upstate New York, called the Laboratory for Experimental Medicine and Surgery in Primates.
a lab where we experimented on monkeys and apes.
My responsibility was three young chimpanzees who had just been born a few months before I started.
Regis, Kareem, and Digger.
These boys, they'd all been taken from their moms.
You know, they were a few pounds.
They were balls of energy and curiosity and clinginess and neediness and
They weren't in a chimp society.
September 7th, I get a call that Lily has a baby.
All the others are around her, but they're not touching the baby.
She wouldn't let them touch her baby.
So I took her into another room, and she held her baby up to me to show me.
I said, no, that's your baby.
I left for two weeks because I was having to find another place to live.
I come back, and Lemon has sold the baby to the Columbus Zoo.
