Message from Russ Brown about Ray Knight   

Arlene Knight told me that Ray was in very serious condition.  He had another operation on his hip about a week ago.  He was in the Veterans Nursing home in Augusta and they had to take him to the hospital as he was in terrible pain and come to find out he needed another hip operation.

She said he is in bad shape and is fighting hard to recover and may not make it .

She said that she did not think he could have visitors, nor would he recognize them if he did.  RB
