Isn't that lady in the background in the top photo Gretchen Jackson, Barbaro's owner? Looks like the lady who was in the stands.

Gee, I honestly don;t know. Could be, though. Mr. Matz (or maybe it was the doc) said during the press conference that the owners live fairly close to the center.

Good blood supply! Yippeee! I hadn't heard that. Thanks for telling me. He sure looks good walking in that photo. You can see he's putting weight on the leg. Outstanding.

Yes, isn't that wonderful? (Good blood supply.)

The Jacksons live 10 miles away, IIRC.

I also loved reading this:

" ... During the long wait to see how Barbaro would come through surgery Sunday, flowers arrived at the hospital, some of them carried by children. Two apples and a handful of carrots were accompanied by a handwritten note. ... "

Hey. I just saw Mrs. Jackson on the overnight news again and her hair is darker - redder - than I remembered, so that's not who would be in that pic. I was misremembering her as more strawberry blonde. *Oh well, sorry 'bout that.*
