Many of us here have had the opportunity to spend time with Philadelphia Jerry Ricks. Jerry's wit & musical wisdom is legendary. His scheduled workshop classes at Port T, as well as unscheduled one-on-one mini-classes Jerry so enthusiastically will do, have put many of us players on a better track.
Jerry and Nancy have been out of States for three years and based in Croatia for the last six months. Jerry has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. The tumor is operable and he is scheduled to have surgery this week.
Medicine is not socialized in Croatia and the bills will be significant. www.Weeniecampbell.com urges its members to send your assistance to the accounts listed at the bottom of this post.
Many thanks everyone, please get behind this appeal and do what you can!
Rivers.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
Both Jerry and I wish to express our deepest gratitude for all the
calls of concern and best wishes received for Jerry's full recovery.
The operation to remove his brain tumor is expected this week; we all
hope and pray for the best results.
Since hearing of so many offers for support, accounts have been
established to accept donations for Jerry to help defray the medical
expenses and the costs of the following treatments and rehabilitation.
Again, our deepest appreciation for all your concern through these
difficult times, these miles of Blues...
Sincerely Yours,
Nancy Klein and "Philadelphia" Jerry Ricks
