Cari, I have been have been VERY frustrated and probably, as angry as you must feel about your ordeal, trying to take care of your Dad. You have so much positive energy, that if you can UNLEASH it, you will be a wonderful spokeswoman for ALL of us PWP's. Where are our media anyway? Do you have to be a Reno, Fox or Arafat (who has PD), to get news coverage?? CERTAINLY NOT!! At least, I got on radio for 30 minutes, on WHOM-FM, April 16th, and my own friends are producing the duplicate audiocassette tapes. Cari, why not call your LOCAL radio DJ , or friend-of-a-friend, at a COMMUNITY or COLLEGE radio station, or maybe, a SMALL local newspaper, or a NEWSLETTER- or write your own column on PIEN... and tell the world how you feel!! JUST DO IT! I sincerely hope that you, JoAnn and Dempsey have the best possible awareness month. I'm rooting for all 3 of you. Truly. Keep your chin up!!
