Dear Barbara: You started something really great and at the same time you have become a role model of tolerance and understanding for the world out there. Camilla has followed suit in a similar wonderful path. Not only did the French go the same way and incorporated francophones from Canada and the US, but so did the Spanish to include Latin America, as well as Belgium in French rather than Flemish, and Germany. I do not know about Scandinavia and the Slavic countries, but the snow ball has been growing into a wide world of Parkinson supportive community. Barbara, you should be very proud of your creation and I want to thank you personally for providing a path of light enabling me to care better for my wife.
