Re-Creation mugged
There’s a group of entertainers out of Chicago called Re-Creation which claims to have as it’s main purpose entertaining at VA Medical Centers. Ex-PH2 writes to tell us that they’ve had all of their equipment stolen after a gig in a San Antonio VA Center;
“We lost every costume, every piece of equipment, every tool, every light, every backdrop,” [Jay Muller, director of Re-Creation] said. “We’re putting preliminary estimates at $120,000 (lost).”
The group, which performs for veterans all across the country, had finished a performance at a VA hospital in San Antonio and was staying at a nearby hotel before their next performance when their Ford F-250 and attached trailer were stolen, Muller said. No one was injured in the theft.
Some of the group’s members lost personal items that were in the truck, Muller said. San Antonio law enforcement has told the group that the vehicle was most likely taken by drug smugglers that target F-250s for their operations.
So, those of you in the area, be on the lookout for the white Ford F-250 and trailer. If you have a couple of bucks rattling around loose, there’s a “Donate” button on their website link above. They’ve had to cancel their tour and they want to get back on the road.
