Q: How is Kristina? Do you still talk to her?
A: Kristina is alive. Mostly stays clean, although she has relapsed. She struggles daily to make ends meet and
care for the [youngest] two of her five children, who she had after she got out of prison. That is prison, after the
jail time in Glass. She has some brain damage and health issues because of her use. Yes we talk, although she
lives 500 miles away from me, so we're not close. My hope for her is she'll find a way to return to her art.
