An Update: Ms. Halbritter woke up feeling well enough to come on The 11th Hour with us that day.  Not so the day of the concert. It never happened, as she was flown to Pittsburgh for emergency surgery that Saturday.  She passed away September 28th, 2021.  Read her obituary HERE.

In the obituary, it said in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions could be made to Mending Hearts Animal Rescue: PO Box 97, Hollidaysburg PA 16648
