I am very pleased to report that this year's Sidney Dorros Memorial Award winner is David Purdy from Grove City, Ohio. The award presentation was in Columbus, Ohio, on June 9 which is Sid's birthday (as well as Michael J. Fox). Dave is a retired pharmacist who uses his expertise to help other Parkinsonians. He has recently produced the sixth edition of his Therapy Guide which is a very knowledgeable and uptodate guide to current PD meds as well as those under development. He won the award for his outstanding accomplishments in support group efforts. He spoke 55 times last year to support groups, established six new groups in southeast Ohio, serves on the Board of Directors for the Central Ohio Parkinson Society and the Ohio Parkinson Foundatikon.
