	Price Gwynn, former moderator of the General Assembly, broke his left leg
in two places in a recent fall at his summer home.

	Gwynn is at home in Charlotte now, where he will need 6-8 weeks to recover.
He is reportedly most upset that he will not be allowed to go jogging for
six months.

	Well wishes can be sent to Price Gwynn, 5100 Sharon Road, #1505, Charlotte,
NC 28210-4799.
