So back to this weekend, Mangelsen's Images of Nature had a private collectors event where we would have the opportunity to meet Tom Mangelsen and Dr. Jane Goodall . The event was held at Mangelsen's Downtown Omaha Images of Nature Gallery and was arranged to help sponsor Dr. Goodall's work. Well, during the evening - which was just fabluous.
