Our little baby was born in 1968 and was named after Dorise Gatti and Gee Gee Steel. Dora GeeGee’s mother was Kenya, an older chimp we did not use in the act. Dad and I had the chimp act on the Joe Gatti  Circus on and off for a few seasons, Never a nicer man to work for and his wife and daughters were always a pleasure to be around. Just a fine family. To this day the show is still going strong and there is no doubt in my mind that it will continue to be successful. Later she was one of the chimps we used in the movie Planet of the Apes.
