Newest Update

Journal entry by Cathy Kippenberger

Again it has been awhile since I have posted an update. Life is so different for everyone now. Terry and I have had a new normal since last October; now I think everyone is having a "new normal." 

Terry is about the same. He has not been going to his therapy at SSM Day Institute and misses it. He has been doing some exercises at home but it is not the same. He looks forward to returning there when the time is right.

One of the artists Terry has represented is Helen Welch. The main show she does that Terry books is about the Carpenters. He has been her agent for a number of years and has presented her at performing arts agent conferences. She has become a good friend. She emailed us recently that about the time Terry had his stroke her husband was diagnosed with cancer. She just didn't think it was the right time to tell Terry. For the last few months they have been going through chemotherapy, surgeries and other medical issues. The virus is just another thing on their list.

Some time ago she wrote a song but did nothing with it at the time. She has now released it as a single/video. She said to share it with anyone who would find it helpful or healing. Terry had tears in his eyes when he watched it. You can access it at

I hope you enjoy it as we did. I don't know anyone who can't use a little help and healing right now.

Holy Week was really strange and Easter Sunday even stranger. We watched Mass livestream from our church and some services from Rome. Our church has prayers and homilies on their website -sfxstl.org.  Our homilists are superb.

We look forward to the time we can see everyone again, be together. 

Peace,
Cathy
