Thanks *Barbs* for saying so well what I would have said if I had responded before you both did. I wonder who decided all or any of us should be self appointed censors to tell another how to raise money for parkinsons? I was under the impression that all of us were adults on this list and as such, in this day and age, must be past being shocked or maybe we all should get a * reality check.* I was offended by the criticism that was directed towards Bill, a father, who did nothing but share a part of his pride with the rest of the list, which was his daughters efforts to help all of you. If we are so prudish that none of us would accept any money that was given towards this goal I feel sorry for you. For myself, I would take money from the devil if he/she offered it and it was given to assist any research to eliminate parkingsons from anyone I know or will know. I think if anyone here says otherwise then they are lying to themselves and should have a reality check. * seattle* audrey friend of 2 pwps ..one is aussie John 49/42/38??
