I talked to folks who attended the December 12th symphony performance and they said Ben Wade had lost about 60 pounds since they last saw him, he was using a walking stick/cane (which he never needed before) and looked like he had been through the wringer. He has said there were would be an announcement on National TV after the superbowl that would "bring Susanville and the Symphony attention".I was able to find a photo of him post-show that confirms this ... from the looks of it, it would be shocking if he didn't last all 39 days.
