[R-G] Hunter Gray is seriously ill.

Sent via Eldri Gray -

My father, Hunter Gray (Hunterbear/John Salter), is seriously ill here in
Idaho.

 He has a mysterious blood disease. This has gone on since early July.  He
was in no rush to go to a doctor.  There have been many tests and many more
are scheduled.  With the exception of a several days hospital stay he has
been able to handle rationally all his intellectual and some local activist
activities.  None of the blood cancers have been mentioned.

He cannot hike at this point. His appetite was gone for close to a month,
and has now returned.

His energy level is slowly climbing.

He is not nearly as "saintly" as he was when he assumed he was -to use the
Old Army hospital term- in Gabriel's room.
