pelchanus at bustikathy's yahoo fan group received an email from Kathi in recent days and published it in the group.....
"I have become seriously ill and cannot model anymore. It's not life-threatening (I don't think), but it has prevented me from even responding to emails for the most part and has seriously limited any activity at all for some time. I kept hoping things would resolve and be different, from day to day, but I have to admit, now, that
isn't the case" - Kathi Somers
In a second email Kathi stated that she is preparing a long and carefully worded statement for all her fans and webpage members....but it may be some time before it is completed and published
May I say that my thoughts are with you Kathi and I wish you well for a speedy improvement and full recovery
