I have seen posts from time to time here where oral cancer victims of note are highlighted. One of the more recent ones was the movie critic in Chicago (name escapes me at the moment).

I thought I would mention another one who, although rings more of a bell in GA, would also have national recognition to some degree. This would be the now retired coach of the Univ. of GA Bulldogs, Vince Dooley. For whatever reason, there was only slight mention of this in the local Atlanta media around the end of May. The mention was very broad with the only description being that a "malignant turmor" was removed from Dooley's throat. I not seen or heard any follow-up stories about this in our local media.

Just thought I would bring this to light.
