>Many of you have asked me to update you following Jennifer's operation
>today.  I'm pleased it was a success and she's now home resting
>comfortably.  She has a 3-5 week recovery and then will be back out there
>on the tennis court and at exercise class, I'm certain.  Jennifer
>approached today's procedure with the same grace and positive energy she
>has for the past year since learning of her breast cancer.  She has such
>a joyful attitude.  She has been an inspiration to many, including me,
>and we're thankful to have this now behind us and able to move on from
>this disease. They say every dark cloud has a silver lining.  In our
>case, we've had many silver linings.  First and foremost, Jennifer is
>cancer-free and won't need to worry about this again. That's a tremendous
>relief. And if it's possible to fall even more in love with the person
>you've loved for more than 30 years, this chapter has brought us even
>closer and caused that for the two of us.  Unfortunately for those of you
>who have had the misfortune to be around us this past year, we recognize
>at times we're like high school sweethearts, and we apologize profusely
>for what may be perceived as sickening displays of affection!  Also, we
>have certainly spent the past year better understanding what's important
>(like family and friends) and what's not (like material things and
>trivial frustrations).  And we are recommitted to the things that give us
>most pleasure outside of being with family and friends  in my case my
>work at YUM, several of the Boards I am privileged to serve on including
>Kindred, Thornton's, Muhammad Ali Center and Preservation Trust, and in
>Jennifer's case, Actor's Theater and Sheriff's Meadow Foundation.  And of
>course all the fun activities we enjoy throughout the year  tennis,
>golf, skiing, hiking, biking, sailing, kayaking (and Jennifer's regular
>workouts!).  Lastly, we are even more determined to serve those less
>fortunate than ourselves.  There isn't a day that goes by that one of us
>doesn't comment to the other about just how fortunate we are, and what a
>wonderful life we have.  We are very grateful and take nothing for
>granted.  We're especially grateful to all of you who have expressed such
>concern and compassion this past year.  Now that she's had today's
>operation, this will serve as the final update on her progress.  Thank
>you for your prayers, cards, food, flowers, calls, visits and friendship.
> We hope 2013 brings you much happiness and good health.
