I remember Carole from her student days when she lived at a little house on Boynton Beach, Florida, with a great little Italian restaurant nearby. I remember her many visits to IPPL. Although she worked with chimpanzees, she had a soft spot for gibbons and monkeys and all animals. There was always a rescued stray dog around!          The closure of the ghastly Coulston Foundation (which held around 300 chimpanzees) and its takeover by Save the Chimps was an enormous accomplishment made possible especially by Carole's determination and the generosity of the Arcus Foundation. Carole had a wonderful staff and I have no doubt that the task of transferring the chimps remaining in New Mexico to the wonderful facility in Florida will take place before too long.          Those wishing to leave a tribute in Carole's legacy book should visit, http://www.haisleyfuneralhome.com/sitemaker/sites/Haisle1/obit.cgi?user=carole-noon&viewGuest=1 Dr. Shirley McGreal, OBE, Chairwoman International Primate Protection League PO Box 766 Summerville, SC 29484, USA Phone - 843-871-2280, Fax- 843-871-7988 E-mail - smcg...@ippl.org, Web: www.ippl.org Working to Protect All Primates Since 1973
