We are all hopeful that he will survive this surgery.

There have been rumors; however, the family has asked that I contact persons the he had contact with to provide them with accurate information.  

There has been a rumor that we've packed up his apartement and moved things out.  We have only moved things pertinent to his business, and have sent them to his corporation, for an orderly transaction of that business.  I have been charged with addressing these problems, and will be happy to correpond with any friends who call or email.  I have access to his accounts, and will be setting up an email site to answer questions.

I have know this man for many years, as a memeber of his acounting team, and set up his program to provide $20 million of his own money, starting in 1998 through 2005, for the support of the dance community.  He has been a great philanthropist for the dance community.

I will personally correspond with those of you he has in his email address book, and will post updates on his favorite sites.

I hope this clarifies any questions you might have.
