    I was curious about how the Weill's made their fortune. The family has a long history of philanthropy:

    JDur, yes the Weills did apparently take their beloved dog, Angel, to the veterinary oncology department at UC Davis to receive chemotherapy for squamous cell cancer. I wonder when that was because I have made the same trip from sonoma to davis many times for essentially the same treatment for our dog Rosie. For such a dismally sad trip for a very sick dog I actually came to look forward to it. Why? The incredibly great facilities and the fresh and optimistic attitude of the residents and vet students (All young women) who took care of Rosie. She survived.. not cured but had a good life, extended only due to the fantastic treatment she received from UC Davis Vet. So I say thank you to the Weill family for your unbelievable support for a great cause.
