Subject: RE: Is kytrad okay? Jean Ritchie hospitalized
Aloha-this is Terry Duggins. Jean is in St Francis Hospital, Long Island. She suffreed a full on pondine stroke. That is the worst kind of stroke. That is at the stem of the brain where the memory for the major moter movements are. Like breathing swallowing and other vital organs. I have been in contact with them ever since her bieng hospitalized. She is still in ICU We can only hope for a full recovery. The last five years I spent alot of time with Jean and George in New York Hawaii and Kentucky.There just the most wonderful people ever. FAMILY IS MORE LIKE IT. My family always admired the Ritchie family for "Saving the Songs" as my family would put it. I just wanted you all to know. That the more of US that pray the better Jean will get.

All my Aloha~Terry Duggins
