Good Morning Everyone;

We have a Nationally known figure that has recently been treated in Germany for RSD. Louise Mandrell's husband John was diagnosed with RSD and treated in Germany. From the description in the article below his RSD was pretty severe.

The story was from a TN paper and so we have contact information for her Theater in TN for her at the bottom of this email. Please read the newspaper article and then send him an email if you feel moved to do so.

I won't tell you what type of email to send. This one needs to come from the heart. As always feel free to share

our website www.RSDHope.org
my name Keith Orsini
and email keithone@maine.rr.com

if you want to share prayers with them for his treatment if you are so moved feel free to do so. I don't know how long he has had it, it doesn't say. I don't know if they know very much about RSD either. They might enjoy knowing, as we all do when we find others with this disease, that our lives aren't over with this diagnosis, that we aren't alone, not crazy, and there is tremendous support with all of you in this community.

Here is their email address; louisemandrell@louisemandrell.com or if you would prefer to postal mail them , here is the mailing address

Louise Mandrell selling Pigeon Forge theater

By News Sentinel staff

April 29, 2005


Louise Mandrell is selling her Pigeon Forge theater to the operators of the
Black Bear Jamboree and The Comedy Barn.

Mandrell will perform until year's end, with her last performance on New
Year's Eve. She opened the theater in 1997.

In a press release, she said she is selling because her husband, John, has
been diagnosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, a rare disease that causes
pain "all over" his body. She said treatment in Germany recently alleviated
the pain but they're not sure how long the cure will last. She plans to
return to Nashville next year.

Mandrell owns the theater with businessmen Fred Langley and Jim Clayton.
The sale price was not disclosed.

Fee/Hedrick Entertainment Group is buying the theater and expects the deal
to close in late June. David Fee and Jim Hedrick are co-owners and executive
producers of the Black Bear Jamboree and Comedy Barn.

The new owners hope to retain "as many of Mandrell's employees as possible."
Fee/Hedrick has about 350 workers and will have about 500 with the
acquisition announced today.

They "plan to announce a multi-million-dollar production soon" but are not
saying what type of show will replace Mandrell's performances next year.
