Edee Greene and the Giraffe
Today, Lance and I went to the Brevard Zoo where visitors can pet and feed the giraffes. The zoo is in Melbourne, Florida – the area that Sen. Lori Wilson used to represent. Fort Lauderdale News editor Edee Greene used to collect giraffes. (This is a photo of Edee with her collection.) She liked giraffes because she said women who wanted to make a difference had to stick their necks out.
