“I like to think of myself as the
newest member for the reason of
the Pink Ball Tournament. I was di-
agnosed with breast cancer in late
March, which was luckily caught
early by a mammogram. ... I’m cur-
Our choice for our
one read this month
is a fascinating biog-
raphy called “First:
Sandra Day
O’Connor” by Evan
HOCHHALTER
Thomas.
Born at a time
when women were expected to be
homemakers, she graduates from
Stanford University Law with honors.
It wasn’t easy but she shatters the
glass ceiling and becomes an Arizona state senator and later becomes a
judge in the Arizona Court of Ap-
peals. In 1981, President Ronald Rea-
gan appointed her to the Supreme
Court. O’Connor was the first woman
to receive that honor and was an in-
spiration for all in both her personal
and professional life. At 58 she was
diagnosed with cancer and also car-
ing for her husband who was suffer-
ing from Alzheimer’s. Thomas brings
out her humanity as she copes with
these trials while becoming one of the most influential women in Ameri-
ca — an example for all the young
women who aspire to become leaders
in our country. We will meet at the
Charbonneau Country Club from
1-2:30 p.m. Aug. 24 to review this
book. We welcome visitors so hope
you will join us for a spirited discus-
sion.
Next month we will be back to our
second and fourth Tuesday of each
month meetings. I can be reached at

treatment so I’m not ready to call
myself a survivor but I’m quite sure
I will be. ... My mother died of pan-
creatic cancer, which she got like 30
years after she had breast cancer
when I was in high school. And my
brother, who is a little younger
than I am, we’re both going through
radiation treatment — his for pros-
tate and mine for breast cancer. I
got involved, originally with Pink
Ball because I was involved in golf,
but because of my mother’s cancer.
We went to the Knight Cancer In- stitute a couple weeks ago and I
was so impressed with what they’re
doing that my reason to support is
not just my cancer but what they’re
doing.” but I have also, being involved
with the Pink Ball this many years
... I also understand how far we’ve
come in being able to treat and
cure cancer, particularly in chil-
dren. I particularly embrace the
idea of people working collabora-
tively to find a cure as they’re do-
ing at the Knight Cancer Institute.
... I also embrace the idea that
they’re looking for unique ways,
new ways, to treat cancer and to
detect cancer.”

cancer, my grandmother died of
cancer, my mother died of cancer,
my husband is a cancer survivor
and a very dear friend died of can-

30 years ago. I have seen what it
can do and the pain that is causes
