You may know Katie (Katie The Great - Face and Body Artist) as a face and body artist who also acted as an entertainment booking agent. She wrote for Laugh Makers, Funny Bone, Face International, and other family entertainment and face paint magazines. Additionally, she presented many workshops on marketing for Face Painter entertainers. Katie also presented at the Face and Body Art International Conference at their Orlando USA conference for years.
Many of you know Katie as Doug (The Great) Hunt's wife for over 40 years.
Katie is diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia. She still remembers her past friendships and asks about her old friends in the business. Doug is Katie's primary caregiver while they wait for a spot to open up in long term care.
Katie (and Doug) would both benefit from hearing from their friends.
That's where you come in.
If you have a few minutes, please send Katie and Doug a quick email smile or share a memory to brighten their day!
Doug's email address is: stiltrecord at yahoo dot ca
A handwritten note, an uplifting card, or a "thinking of you" postcard can be sent to:
Doug and Katie Hunt
264 Memorial Drive
Brantford, Ontario, N3R 7H3
Sending sunshine and best wishes to both Katie and Doug.
