Dear Friends I have been off the list for about six months having been previously on for over three years. I just could not sort thru all the nonPD news even if it just amounted to hitting the delete button. But in any event a momentous meeting occurred in Washington with leading researchers, Dr. G. Fishbach and other governmental employees and private and non governmental agencies or groups. As I understand the situation a collaborative effort by all present was devoted to setting forth a cohesive plan to find a cure in 5 years. Perhaps one of the groups that attended will set forth for us in detail what transpired. There is a lot going on that doesn't always get filtered down to our level.
