We want to join the many friends
of John Stewart and Buffy Ford in bringing to your attention the urgent need to raise money for an important operation.Buffy Ford Stewart, singer and wife of John Stewart, after two operations for a brain tumor and
now experiencing paralysis and pain, is in desperate need of follow-up surgery. Buffy and John's health insurance plan will not cover this surgery.
If you attended the 1997 World Folk Music Association Benefit Weekend at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA (Washington, DC) you'll remembered the great show John and Buffy
performed and how much the audience loved them. They were one of the highlights of the weekend. Buffy has performed little since then.
Although it was never asked for, Buffy and John could sure use your help. The cost of the operation is $30,000
Please take a moment now and send a check, in any amount, to:
On the memo line write, 'The Buffy Fund.'
You can get continuing updates on Buffy's condition from Ron Beffa's website at
