Celebrating 70 years of the extraordinary Temple Grandin

Quote:
On a beautiful Colorado summer evening, hundreds of students, alumni, university leadership, industry leaders, colleagues and friends gathered to wish a happy 70th birthday to an extraordinary person – Temple Grandin.

“We have people from 17 states and Canada here today,” said Kevin Pond, head of the Department of Animal Sciences at Colorado State University, at the celebration on the Monfort Quad. “Everyone is here today to celebrate Temple, her achievements, and her 70th birthday.

On Sept. 16, Grandin will be inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame, along with only nine other honorees this year.


Happy belated birthday Temple

She's certainly been a trailblazer in autism rights and deserves a great birthday :)

I'm heading your way across the ditch today Cyberdad - have a 70th birthday of my own to celebrate, delighted to learn I share my particular accumulation of years with the incomparable Temple Grandin :) Luckily for you perhaps, I won't be driving, so Australians will be safe from B19 (I hate driving on unfamiliar roads). Have someone else to do that :)
