“Opportunity Knocks” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth
Dorothy Jones was always a looker.
One thing that Dr. Gerard Leavenworth doesn’t do is miss an opportunity.
See, Dorothy Jones was always a looker, and in the winter of 1981, when I was still a pimple-faced med student, I was approached by the prettiest girl in my class to help her study for the big exam. My friends told me that I had no chance with the beautiful Dorothy Jones – I’d never even kissed a girl – but that evening I showed up with a dozen long stem roses and sprayed my textbook with cologne.
This past weekend, the Eagles were also presented with an opportunity. But from a missed extra point to a fumble in the red zone, we gave the game away. That’s five trips to the NFC Championship in the last eight years, and not a single ring to show for it.
Fortunately for Dorothy Jones, I’m nothing like the Eagles in this regard. I had one opportunity, and I have one ring to show for it. Today, Dorothy Jones is known as Dorothy Leavenworth.
