code name: koko
According the the website koko.org/friends,
"Note that while Koko is well known for her communication skills, she is not unique. Koko's late male companion, Michael, was also fluent in sign language, a prolific painter, and intelligent beyond anyone's wildest expectations. And Koko's current silverback companion, Ndume, is equally personable, empathetic and intelligent. Koko's species is remarkable indeed."
What most people don't know is that the spirit of Koko, though not her love of kittens, is alive and well, in Alaska of all places. The creative, communicative spirit of Koko exists within the body of my sister in law. She's smart, funny, a helluva interpretive dancer, and can not talk (at all) without her hands. Please note, there's nothing at all wrong with talking with your hands. Lots of very successful and happy people do it.
Luckily for me, my sis-in law - code name: Koko - does it. Because the joy I recieve from heckling her for it, is fantastic.
Here's a drink to Koko in Kenai!
