> [@SpazCat](#): > > I didn’t either. It’s good to see a public person who can keep their private life private these days. Good for you, Dr. Ride. More to the point for this game, it appears that she kept her pancreatic cancer private as well, because if there had been a report of that she would have been a big bandwagon pick.
