Sending get-well wishes to Fauntleroy’s Ron Richardson

He’s contributed great stories here at West Seattle Blog and at partner site White Center Now, but you likely know Ron Richardson best for many other things – he’s a noted local historian, active with the Southwest Seattle Historical Society, and community advocate, active on issues including public campaign financing and peace advocacy (which is how we first met him – because of the sign outside his home near Lincoln Park). Now he is in a fight to regain his health, after a sudden problem sent him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Fauntleroy’s Judy Pickens has spoken with Ron’s wife Sherry and says they don’t know yet whether it’s benign or malignant, but Ron is out of the hospital and back home as of a few days ago. Cards are welcome, she suggests, saying the Fauntleroy Community Association would be glad to get them to him: Send them to Ron Richardson care of FCA, P.O. Box 48343, Seattle, WA 98146-6343.

Have several friends with brain tumors. He should if he’s not already look at center for advanced brain tumor treatment at swedish. Amazing place that can help nrain tumor patients live longer. My dad died of this disease and I’m convinced that they could have had him live longer. Good luck to him and family.
