Russ Kane has stroke

Russ Kane, who had a stroke Nov. 25, is in Palo Alto, Calif. VA hospital . He's in building 100, ward 4A, the hospice unit. Russ was a city editor and Sunday Magazine editor, among other positions.

His son Rob Adams-Kane, a former PD copyaide, says "he's surrounded by grandkids and others and getting as many visitors as he can stand. From time to time he throws them all out, via minute but unmistakable gestures. He's very weak. Russell has chosen to not receive significant nutrition or hydration since his move to the VA.

The address is 3801 Miranda Ave., Palo Alto CA, 94304.

Rob says Russell is "greatly enjoying the stories in John Tidyman's new book, Gimme Rewrite Sweetheart, which we're reading aloud for him. "
