An Invincible Summer - A Woman's Journey

I took a friend to a fundraising event at a local college. The nearby town of Moorpark (which has no moors) is home to a unique curriculum that it and only one other college in the country has. Moorpark College houses a small teaching zoo and is well known for it's  Exotic Animal Training & Management  program.  My friend, Nancy, who is very young at heart, loves this program and the animals within.
