Ah, man...Chongo is going to be really upset about Washoe. Of course he knew her. She's an old friend of his. Chongo has confided in me many times that Washoe knows...or I should say knew how to speak English better than half the greengrocers and 2/3 of the city cops in Chicago...but she pretended not to in order to make fools out of the scientists and researchers. If so, she carried it off very well, I must say.
