BEHIND THE SCENES:

Jill and I had our first in-person meeting since January 3rd - we went for a lovely walk together last week.  She was eager for as many Camelot updates as I could think to provide. She has just finished her first round of chemo/radiation and has a brief break before beginning the next round of chemo. Her physical and emotional strength is inspiring.  There remain openings in the Pitino Family meal train - link is here:
