| | For the past two years I have been talking about learning how to surf.
So at last the opportunity has presented itself.
On this thursday nite at a silent auction at Lincoln Center at the annual
Joan's Legacy Strolling Supper where my sister Barbara is honored for her work
as an advocate to fight the stigma attached to lung cancer I won the bid for
the surf board and a couple of hours of surfing lessons in the Hamptons next
summer.
This event is high on the who's who of the broadcasting community ,Barbara
Walters , Brian Williams , Tom Brokaw ,Joan was Tom's assistance until her
death.
Barbara had introduced herself to Joan one morning at Sloan Kettering ,they
were both waiting for treatment and Barbara had seen Joan sitting across the
room looking very sad so she approached her to offer some kind words of
support.Those words lead to a deep freindship though short lived as Joan
passed fairly quick.
So ...when I saw the surf board as a part of the auction, I bid ,then I
got out bid....I placed another bid and let it sit....the kids encouraged me
to keep an eye on the auction sheet so I could bid again if necessary ,I
said no I would't bid again it's in your mothers hands she will guide me
to the finish line and so she did...I won...Thanks Barbara.
See you all at he beach.....Hugs , Moon Doggie |
