DIANE’S SCOOP
Siteman Cancer Center’s Jana Sharpley tells me
that the National Cancer Institute will be evaluating
Siteman once again for comprehensive cancer
center status. This will keep Siteman in very elite
company as Siteman is the only center in Missouri
to achieve the designation...Astute observers at
the concert would have noticed a fashion trend
among some of the men: Dr. Tim Eberlein and Ron
Fromm (significant others of the event co-chairs),
as well as Opera Theatre’s Tim O’Leary and Joe
Gfaller, were sporting custom-designed Sing for
Siteman bowties, courtesy of Nancy Staley and
Great Knots…Barbara Goodman is headed to the
Carolinas with her kids, Jill and Todd, to travel
around to all the barbecue joints in the region. It’s
an annual trip for them to explore different parts
of the country for the best barbecue...Fran Zamler
is gearing up to help with the National Council
of Jewish Women’s biggest-ever Couturier sale
coming up in October!...Dr. Tim and Kim Eberlein
are packing their bags for Limerick, Ireland, to join
in the wedding celebration of Dr. Majella Doyle,
a transplant surgeon who will wed Bob Roth next
month...Sara Fabick is excited about her trip to
Santa Fe, New Mexico. While there she will take in
five operas!...Teri Giege, cancer survivor, Iron Man
triathlete and Woman of Achievement, tells me
she fuels up before a race with her favorite foods
in this order: chocolate of any kind, chocolate
chip ice cream, chocolate chip cookies and diet
Pepsi. She is one amazing woman, indeed!
