As many of you know, our dear family/friend Ken was diagnosed with multiple myeloma last fall.  He just completed his last round of infusions and will undergo a bone marrow transplant at the beginning of May.  He and Maricel will be spending a month (April 27-May 19) at John Hopkins recovering from his procedure.  To make it easier for them, I’d love to provide them with gift cards to help out with meals.  Here are a few suggestions:
