Magnify the photo on the page with Frank's article, and see for yourself!</div> <bR> <div> Unfortunately, the event was followed by a serious fall on October 10, resulting in a broken hip that required surgery to repair.  Friends around the world join in sending Travis their wishes for a quick recovery with as little pain as possible.</div> <bR> <div> Travis Edmonson wants to thank everyone who has sent in get-well messages and extended Good Thoughts and prayers for his recovery from hip surgery.  He returned home from hospital on October 25, and despite the tough circumstances, remains in Let's All Room Together Next Semester spirits, thanks to the goodwill those who care about him have shown.</div> <bR> <div> He's also asking anyone who might have memorabilia from his career to help out with the documentary Bill McCune of McCune Television is making about him.  Travis would like  those who have ticket stubs, playbills, photographs (Travis alone, Bud & Travis, Travis with other celebrities, Travis with fans), ads, reviews or any other graphic material to make it available in the form of scans emailed to <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="mailto:info@arizonafolk.net" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:info@arizonafolk.net"><U>info@arizonafolk.net</U></A></FONT>.
