to all who have responded on this issue - thanks - and don't stop - you have all heard several of us make reference to a Southern California Support Organization called: COPS (Children of Parkinsonians) now called PRO (Parkinsonian's Resource Organization) which, indeed, was started by "one of us" - it is, to my knowledge, the only group that had the "adult child" in mind as the focus originally and has now grown to provide respite care and much welcome help and information to those in the PD community - although i am no longer on PRO's board (time and conflicts interfering. . . ) i continue to watch them accomplish incredible feats - all in the name of raising money for the here and now - respite care for those who need it NOW to assist in the task of caregiving - they have much to be proud of and i encourage you all to either email or call them to (a) receive their newsletter (b) find out about the upcoming & exciting February event they have planned (kudos - trudi and jo!) OR just to reach out to some new helpful folk - now - for a chatroom of our own! we'll have to work on that one! cari
