Greetings:

I recently got off the phone with Diane to check on Ray's status as of this 
morning.  Some time no news is good news and that is the case today.  Ray 
remains stable and unconscious in the normal sense.  The encouraging bit of 
news is that over the last couple of days, Ray has demonstrated more 
awareness and has definitely let us know that he is still with us.  When I 
saw him Saturday, he squeezed my hand when I asked and he also wiggled his 
big toe when I asked.  Yesterday, he was even a little more active and 
moving his left arm and leg, the non-stroke affected side.

Dr. and Mrs. Maurer visited with Ray yesterday and he gripped their hands as 
well.  There is no doubt in any of our mind sthat Ray is still with us and 
fighting very hard.  He faces significant odds because of the multitude of 
issues he has faced, the most substantial of which is the major stroke he 
suffered last week.  As all of you know, Ray is an extremely tough person 
and he is giving it everything he's got.  We appreciate so much your 
continued thoughts and prayers and please keep them coming!  I plan to visit 
Ray this afternoon and I will post an update later today.
    With warmest regards,
Scott C. LaBarre, Esq.
