We want to salute our patient, Ms. Liz Lindecke, for her outstanding work in putting together the 13th annual "Scott Hamilton Cares Initiative" for the Cleveland Clinic's Taussig Cancer Institute. My wife Wendy and I were in attendance, and the evening was simply spectacular, from the skating exhibition at the Quicken Loans arena (with Wynonna Judd providing [...]

It got me wondering: is it because I now have some gray along the sides of my scalp? Is it because there is less of the aforementioned hair? Or might it be because [...]
