<div dir="ltr"><div>A lot of you are my internet friends and have been since this list was an infant. 4 years in retirement is great, I still keep active designing a few shows a year and travel. I've always enjoyed the interaction with list members at USITT and when shows they're working on travel nearby. Warhorse, Lion King, etc. As we grow older and slip away, One thing I noticed is we live on in the students we taught, the people we've met and the friends we have. Take care dear friends and I'm still here in Texas (and hope to be around for a while)</div><div><br></div><div>Phil Johnson</div><div>Retired </div><div>Designer of Theatre and Magic</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 26, 2026 at 10:18 AM Ford Sellers via Stagecraft <<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg7525547832747999581">

I only knew Pat through her posts here, and a couple of emails. She's always been one of my "Imaginary Internet Friends". We never got the chance to meet in person.</div>

I've definitely missed her voice here, and was, perhaps, already feeling some anticipatory grief. </div>

<div style="font-size:11pt">Everyone--<br>
<br>
I've posted this news about Pat over on the SML Facebook page, but for those who still read the mailing list, here's some news from a friend of Pat:<br>
<br>
"this is to a subset of folks who are on my list that are friends of Pat Kight.<br>
This is a heads up that things are changing in Pat's life.<br>
Pat is currently (Friday, March 20, 2026) in the emergency room at her local hospital. She may be stuck in a bed there for as long as 20 days as they seek a placement for her. She needs 24/7 care now due to her advanced dementia and cannot return home; there's
no real medical reason for them to admit her to the hospital itself, so she's kind of stuck in no-woman's land.<br>
For those of you out of the loop, this is a positive step. She has needed 24/7 care for some time now, and for a myriad of reasons that hasn't yet happened. This forces the issue."<br>
<br>
This is all the information I have. If I hear more, I'll let everyone know. Please keep Pat in your thoughts. She has been a good friend since we met on the internet *mumblety-mumble* years ago.<br>
