Dear Jean,

Tuesday night I led "Wondrous Love" at our shape-note singing here in upstate New York in the hope that somehow our voices might reach you where you are now. I gave the singers the latest news that Jon has posted here. Given the distance, you should be hearing us about the time you get this message. I first sang this tune with you at your home about twenty-five years ago.

All my best wishes for your recovery.


David

I'm so glad to hear of Jean's improvement.
I have been singing her songs alot lately.
She has been a SHERO to me. Her kindness, humor, and honesty have touched me. I met her when I first began to play the dulcimer over 30 years ago. I'm also grateful to find Jean on Youtube singing her songs!

The mention of the word "SHERO" above, reminded me of something my ex-wife once said. She commented that a toy of She-ra the most powerful woman in the universe needed a special stand to stand erect but once she was up, watch out!

As you have Blessed us may God Bless you and your family.

I've been getting some requests for updates lately by phone and mail. Anything new to report?

I just figure that no news is good news, that healing is continuing, and that the family are busy with that. Beyond that assumption, of course, there's confident thoughts and prayer.

GO JEAN!

I grew up in Viper, KY and our families knew one another quite well. Jean's sister was one of my teachers at the Viper High School. I just recently heard of Jeans's sickness and she and her family are in my prayers. I think of her every day and send my healing thoughts and all good things her way. It was so good to read about Jon singing and playing the dulcimer at her bedside. That must have meant so much to her. Bless you Jon. I would love to hear more about how she is doing at this time.

Anyone heard how Jean Ritchie is doing? Also maybe have her address at the facility where she was receiving care. I have lost it after I sent a card. Thanks, dulcigal

This press report is of a Port Washington concert featuring Peter Pickow which was videoed for Jean. No update on how Jean is. Anyone know? Hope she is improving.

George and Jean,
I surely do hope the rehab is going good for you! My thoughts are with you more than you know. Love from Art and Carol Thieme.

Peter, thanks for suggesting your dad be a friend of mine on Face book. As we speak, that has come to fruition. I hope you are doing good too!!

We haven't had any news since February, so the "update" title of this thread was a bid misleading. We'll change the date on the thread title when we do get an update.
I hope Jean is improving. Maybe no news is good news.
