A little-known or interesting thing about you...
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan series of action thrillers featured a character named Cathy Ryan, Jack’s wife and a retina surgeon, that was based in part on me. Six different actresses have “played me” in the film adaptations, none of whom unfortunately I really look like! Over the years, Tom became a good friend and rollicking good company for me and my family.
