Over the Past Month....

  • Dan has been taking his second round of chemo and that is going well
  • Dan has resigned from his position as tennis director at the Sports and Fitness Edge of Essex in order to focus on healing
  • As a family, we attended the Fed Cup in Stowe to watch USA compete against Russia. Gabby had the experience of being a ball girl for the event and carried the US flag into the opening ceremonies each day.
  • Dan was invited to participate in the coin toss before Sunday's match
  • We spent time at the lake in Alburg with family
  • We celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary!!

It has been a great month, and we hope to have many more good times with the ramaining months of summer.

Kathy,

I am an old friend of the Bonfigli family and played many, many hours of junior tennis with Dan, Ed and Mike during our high school years. We had a lot of great matches along the way (the 1977 CVS team lead by Ed, Dan and Mike beat my BHS team by only one match for the state title). I now live in South Carolina and I only recently heard of Dan's illness.

Please give him my very best wishes...and all the best to all the Bonfigli's.

Thanks, Mike. I have heard your name mentioned in Bonfigli conversations. And I do believe one of the stories was that 1977 state championship title. I believe it was a "grass pulling" experience when it got down to the last match. I have family in NC, so we have been to your area (sort of) many times. I do believe every year for the past 20+ years except for this one. We like it there.
