OPEN DOORS CONTINUED former staff from MISS Foundation (a community of compassion and hope for grieving families), WHEAT (ending hunger and poverty at the root) and even Ballet Arizona, who described McCain’s chance meeting with their marketing director, who simply answered the senator’s question, “What is your biggest struggle?” There were also many contributions to veterans groups as well as Valley of the Sun United Way. Knowing all this, I was not at all surprised by the recent establishment of the John S. McCain III Endowed Chair in Brain Cancer Research at TGen as the latest philanthropic effort by the McCain family in addition to the continued efforts at the McCain Institute for International Leadership at Arizona State University. For more details on these efforts and John McCain’s lifetime of service, visit johnmccain.com . With my deepest condolences to Cindy, Doug, Andy, Sidney, Meghan, Jack, Jimmy, Bridget, Bettina, Paul, Wes, Deb, the Harpers and everyone I met along the way … it was my honor to be a small part of such an incredible life and legacy.
