[Steppes] For those of you who were around in the old days...

Her Excellency Anne Louise, former Baroness of the Steppes is in 
Presbyterian Hospital. She had both knees replaced yesterday morning, with good 
success. She will be in the hospital for at least 5-6 days, but then will be home 
for further recovery. If you want to visit, send cards, etc., please contact 
me off list for her room number and contact info. Once she gets home, due 
to His Excellency Exiter's own medical issues, they will need occasional 
assistance. If you would like to help out, again contact me off list to 
coordinate.
 
Both Exiter and Anne Louise look apon the Barony as a part of their 
extended family, and are much appreciative of the thoughts and prayers extended 
their way. While many of you with more recent membership in the Barony do not, 
unfortunately, know them well, they led this group well for more than 6 
years. Hopefully, this surgery will enable HE Anne Louise to come more 
frequently to Steppes events in the future.
