Congratulations! to Michael J. Fox on winning and deserving the "Citizen of the Year" award from George Magazine. A full and deep interview, "The Unsinkable Spirit of Michael J. Fox", is in the October 2000 issue, which has Michael J. in perfect retro matinee idol style on the cover and a picture page on "doing the Fox Trot" about a fundraiser for his Foundation where he announced "that a cure for the disease, which afflicts him, Ali, and millions more, is just five years away. 'That's too long!' retorted Ali. 'Okay, champ,' agreed Fox." Their website is www.georgemag.com They have a link for readers to send in responses. It appears that no one has done that so for. George is the U.S. magazine that John F. Kennedy. Jr. founded and edited. Is so astounding how things have changed since he's come forward. Just on a personal level, I find it's almost easy to mention that I have Parkinson's when I have to. Now everyone knows so much more about what it is. Hardly ever does anyone give me "the pity look" and even then it can be deflected by talking about Michael J.'s generosity, or by quoting what Janet Reno said on Oprah, "I can still think. And I can still climb mountains." Mary Yost, 52, diagnosed 1990 [log in to unmask]
