From Dave Orr

TO: Friends, Fans of Jeanette Rix From: David Orr, CFA Director District 3 NY,NJ,PA I learned just this week while visiting Johnny & Monica WELDES at the York, PA Fair of Jeanette Rix medical condition. Since we are one big family and do have to look out for each other, I though you would like to know that Jeanette is half way through breast chemotherapy. I was able to speak to her yesterday over the telephone on one of her good days. It seems like cancer has really hit the circus world this year with so many of our dear friends affected. Jeanette had to cancel the entire 40th Anniversary Bear Tour. Said, "It would have been the best tour in her career." Sister Susie is presently appearing at the BIG-E with her bears. So, any of you visiting the Big-E stop by Susie's Bear Show and mention to her that we all have Jeanette in our prayers..Jeanette just recently joined CFA and was the FEATURED Speaker to a sold out group of CFA/CMB Fans last November in Harrisburg,PA. So,this has come as a great shock to all of us. So please let Jeanette know that she is in our prayers and wishes of a speedy recovery and we miss her out on the road.
