Page 1 of 13: Prologue

There was only 14 days to recover from our Belize vacation before heading off for skiing in France. Five of those days we were both in Northern Virginia; CJ on business and Carol using that opportunity to pop over to NewView LaserEye and have eye surgery with Dr. Jacqueline D. (Jackie) Griffiths, the wonderful women, who worked the miracle with CJ’s eyes. By 3pm on the day of her surgery she was dancing around the hotel room screaming, “I can read.” Later that evening, she was quite stunning while obnoxiously demonstrating her newfound vision at one of CJ’s formal corporate dinners.
