Chuck, I have been a lurker now for some four months (since diagnosis) and have grown to appreciate enormously your many contributions. If you would like to start a new group, I will come along (but not forsake the "family parkinsn"). However, the many suggestions to keep it within our "family" appeals to me very much - perhaps a weekly topic to focus our attention. Who knows, you might even get me to break into print every now and then. In any event please don't leave us. Your input is precious. Peter from Bozeman PS With a thanks to Barb Patterson, who is teaching me how to communicate with the list serve.
