Ken Kreger Still Critical; Is In Intensive Care Ken Kreger, Tonkawa area farmer and spray pilot who was critically burned in the crash and fire of his spray plane last Wednesday morning is still in the intensive care unit of the Hillcrest Burn Center, Tulsa, and “holding his own,” relatives reported today.Dr. Glenn S.
