Medical science being as far along as it is, it's easy to take Sylvia Hatchell's return to full health lightly, but we really shouldn't. We wouldn't wish leukemia on our worst enemy. So congratulations to her for her full recovery and her retun to her job. We wish her many more seasons - and many more losses to Duke.
