Subject:  Peg Lynch improving

Peg Lynch-Ronning is out of ICU and in a normal room as of late Monday
evening. Her new room number is #432. I was able to speak to her on
Wednesday morning via phone and she sounded great. She said she feels
fine and is doing well.

She was surprised to receive some well wishes from fans, 10-12 as of that
morning, and happy to know she was in everyone's thoughts. She was just
surprised everyone had tracked her down so quick. She was definitley
tickled by all the attention she had received so I thought I should let
everyone know she was receiving the messages.
