Subject: RE: Is kytrad okay? Jean Ritchie hospitalized
Jean - we hope for the best for you and George, I am grateful for the time you spent in Cleveland with me, my wife, Allyn and her sister from Maine, Robyn, and that I had some part in bringing you to the Cleveland Museum of Art for a long overdue performance in Cleveland. I relish the time going through the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with you and George and the stories you both shared (that I should have been recording!). I'm glad I was able to make the trip down to Louisville for your Kentucky Music Hall of Fame induction dinner, and can always say I sang 'My Old Kentucky Home' with you in public (along with every one else in the room!), and though you really hadn't expected me to be there or needn't have remembered me, you made me feel welcome in the most gracious manner, that I have always thought of as 'Jean's way'. Yes you are a treasure, from a family mine of treasures, and your sons two more gifts you've given all of us. thank you and be well, we love you
