Thread Name: Is kytrad okay? Jean Ritchie UPDATE 30 Jan.2010
Subject: RE: Is kytrad okay? Jean Ritchie hospitalized
I am sad to hear that Jean is not as young as we used to be! Those were glorious days. I know that there are others who are making their mark today and that we can sit back and let them. Jean left her mark in so many ways and will continue to do so even if in different arenas. I recall her singing Black Waters and throwing her weight into the strip mine situation with a strong "RUN THEM ALL OUT!" And how she defused the explosive situation at the Lake Junaluska CSM Conference with her gentle but respected "presence."

Jean (and family), we pray for comfort for you and, Lord willing, many more years of gentle living.
