This is a re-post from the Haunted Attraction Magazine forum.
"I just got a phone call from Tim “Timmer” Gavinski, who owns and operates The Wisconsin Fear Grounds with his wife and partner Ann Marie Gavinski. I am sure you know these great Haunters; if not by name by sight or reputation. Tim is the sitting President of the IAHA and together the two have been at every HAuNTcon and several other gatherings, offering seminars on business and marketing.
Tim informed me that just before Christmas, Ann Marie had a seizure. After a battery of tests and several days in the hospital, the doctors discovered a heart problem that formed a blood clot. The clot came lose, made its way into her brain causing a minor stroke.
While devastating news, there is a silver lining; had this stroke not occurred the heart problem would not have been detected and would have shorted Ann Marie’s life. Ann Marie is at home now and doing as well as can be expected. She has regained motor function and feeling to most of the effected area and is scheduled for open heart surgery next week to fix the heart problem.
I am sure that I join the rest of you in wishing Ann Marie great success with the surgery and a speedy recovery. I am sure she would appreciate a phone call or an email to bolster her spirits and to let her know just how important she is to you and to the industry. If you don’t have her email address, it is amtfear4u@aol.com.
