    Marj Carpenter Hospitalized With a Broken Leg 
 
    by Jerry L. Van Marter 
 
LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Former General Assembly moderator and mission interpreter 
extraordinaire Marj Carpenter has been hospitalized in Big Spring, Texas, 
after suffering a broken thigh in a fall at her home. 
 
    The accident occurred Oct. 30.  Carpenter told the Presbyterian News 
Service, of which she is the former director, that she stumbled over the 
edge of a carpet "and there was nothing to grab onto as I fell down."  Her 
severest injury is a fractured femur. 
 
    Carpenter is expected to remain in the Scenic Mountain Medical Center, 
which includes a physical rehabilitation unit, until about mid-November. 
Doctors have told her she will be out of commission until after the first 
of the year, but Carpenter said, "I'll be back out there speaking about 
mission by Christmas." 
 
    Well wishers may send Marj notes at Scenic Mountain Medical Center, 
1601-11th Place, Big Spring, TX 79720, or at home: 1425 E. 6th Street, Big 
Spring, TX 79720.
