Bill called Jessie the next day to tell her the sale had gone through and the property was his. She was incredibly impressed at the speed with which he’d moved, and his seriousness about the project.

“Now I need a medical director so I know what I’m doing. If you won’t do it, I still need you to help me find the right people. At all levels. I’d be happy to pay you a consulting fee. I’m flying blind in this.”

“I would be too,” she assured him. “I’ve never run a rehab center.” She smiled at the thought. “And you don’t have to pay me. I’ll try to think of some people who would be right for you. I talked to my partner about it, but he doesn’t want to leave the Tahoe area either. I do know a woman who’d be terrific as your resident psychologist. You’ll need one of those to deal with the emotional issues. I worked at Stanford with her. She’s at Mass General now, affiliated with Harvard Medical School, and brilliant at what she does. She deals with SCI kids to help them with the adjustment. Her name is Carole Anders. Did you and Lily meet her when you were there?”

“No. We only met with Hammerfeld for the assessment.”

“That makes sense. Carole was sick for a long time last year. She had some serious medical issues, but I hear she’s okay now. I haven’t talked to her for a while. You should call her. It’s hard to drag people away from there because of the prestige, but what you’re doing is right up her alley, so you never know. And she might be willing to consult. She’s a terrific woman, you’d like her.” She gave Bill her number. “I’ll see who else I can come up with. She’s not a potential medical director, but she would be an important member of the team, if she’ll do it.”

“Would you consult for me?” Bill asked humbly. “Maybe come out and look at what we’re doing when we get farther along, if you have time?” Her advice would be invaluable.

“Of course. I’d love to do it. And I’d like to see Lily again. How’s she doing?”

“She’s excited about this too.”

“So am I,” Jessie said honestly. “I’ll do what I can from here. I’ll call you if I think of anyone. Meanwhile, call Carole.” He promised to do so, and to call Jessie again soon. And Jessie made a note to herself to call Carole when she had time.

He called Carole twenty minutes later, and she sounded startled to hear from him. He explained who he was and what he was doing, and how he had gotten there because of Lily and said that Jessica Matthews in Squaw Valley had given him her name. Jessie’s name was the key—she opened up after that, and listened to what he had in mind. She said it was fascinating and much needed, but that she had no plan to leave Mass General, and wanted to stay in Boston, without explaining why.
