The Archive sends all its good wishes to six time Spur Award winner, Elmer Kelton who is currently recovering from complications which resulted from his pneumonia.
Elmer was released on Thursday from hospital but later had a fall in his bath room. He has great difficulty in breathing while fighting pneumonia and other ailments (serious.) He had to go back to
the hospital on Friday while fighting for breath.
Elmer has told family that although he wants to be at home he feels he should initially go to a nursing home where the round the clock care will aid in his full recovery.
Our thoughts are with the great man.
Fellow western writer and good friend of Elmer, Dusty Richards said he was very concerned but would keep the Archive informed of further developments.
