Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

I was wondering the same thing. We where there in June and he was back in the hospital in Bad shape. I hope he is doing well.

I was there the last week in July. Louie made no appearances and was totally bedridden. So, does not appear good, but never know for sure.

I am sorry to hear Louis is not doing wel. We enjoyed his company as well as his hospitality when we stayed with them last year both going and coming.

That's what Bruce, Gracy Travel's rep in Jo'burg told us the latter part of July as well. Said he wasn't doing very well and that Annelise and others had taken over everything for him. The way Bruce talked, it didn't sound like it would be a long time before Louie lost the battle. Just wondered if someone had any further update since July. Thanks.

We were at the Afton House on August 21st. We were told by Annelise that Louie was bed ridden and not in good health. The word from others was not good at all. Annaelise did say that Bruce was no longer working for the Afton house but was still working for Gracy's.
