Jill Bondy: Compassion Cancer Advocate (and my friend)
When I joined the board at Circle of Hope in 2011, I knew only one other board member –my friend and then-president Judy Penman. Judy quickly introduced me around to the others, one of whom was Jill Bondy. But Jill and I didn’t really get to know one another until 2013, when she was voted […]

2016 and a Big Rock
Ten years ago, my husband and I had the extreme pleasure of traveling around the coast of Spain and Portugal, from Barcelona to Lisbon. What a trip! We’ll never forget the exciting ports, the gorgeous M.S. Deutschland, the lovely company of our friends. One point of interest was the passage through the Strait of Gibraltar. […]
