Happy second anniversary to all of us. Barb -------------------------------------------------------------- Post: 006608, dated 8 Nov 1995 23:49:27 From: Jeffrey Romanyshyn <[log in to unmask]> Subj: Happy Second B-DAY! -------------------------------------------------------------- To celebrate the list's second birthday, i am reposting a poem which many of you have probably seen, but perhaps some newcomers will enjoy it. Happy 2nd B-Day Barbara! (If only we were two years old again) :-) -------------------------------------------- (This poem is a humorous, yet serious, examination of one of life's simple tasks made difficult when one has Parkinson's Disease, which I do) the real adventure is putting on your socks the real adventure is putting on your socks, it's difficult to do early in the morning. your eyes, they don't focus, your fingers, they don't pinch, your toes, they don't wiggle. i sometimes sleep in my socks, i'm not always in the mood for adventure. j.r. romanyshyn 12/11/94 -------------------------------------------------------------- Post: 016123, dated 8 Nov 1996 08:06:21 From: Barbara Patterson <[log in to unmask]> Subj: Happy 3rd Birthday to us -------------------------------------------------------------- The Parkinsn Information Exchange Network is three years old today. A lot of things have happened since the beginning of our list...some good ... some not so good. We have grown to 1423 members from 35 countries. We have shared first-hand information, scientific information, humor, poetry, and opinions, but most of all, support to each other. We have had two 'spin-off' lists..the Caregivers list and the Shy-Drager list. We have shared, with our US members, the excitement and enthusiasm of their efforts to get the Udall bill passed...and their sadness and anger when it was postponed. We have grieved together in our loss of Alan Bonandar. We have admired Mohammed Ali for giving the world a 'snapshot' of Parkinson's at the Olympics. I have met some wonderful people..people I am proud to call 'friends'. To name just one: John Cottingham, who has spent hours of his time and energy helping me and all of us. Thank you, John. When the opportunity arose to start this list, a dear friend of mine encouraged me to do it. Shortly after that, she wrote to me: "It sounds as though your idea of initiating a PD network was a way to meet a lot of needs that hadn't been identified until the network started. This could become a self help group with an awful lot of knowledge and power, and it may lead to some changes in research and treatment." If she could only see us now. Happy Birthday to all of us and thank you for being there.

Happy Birthday, and many happy returns!!!

Thank you SO MUCH for starting this. I only wish I had discovered it sooner -I have been greatly helped, encouraged and blessed. God bless you for your kind heart.

This is wonderful! What a great birthday present for our list! Thank you to all who have worked so hard and so long to promote passage of this bill. Those of us who are not from the US could only watch and wait and pray for this. Now, we can celebrate with you and for you. I propose a toast to all who have worked towards passage of the bill and all of us who will potentially benefit from it. Thank you for a job well done. (I hope nobody minds if my toast is with Grand McNish Scotch...champagne gives me a headache. :) Cheers!

It doesn't seem that long since I was as nervous as a two-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs when the first announcements of the list were sent off into cyberspace. Since then, I've had the opportunity to meet some terrific folks both in cyberspace and in person. Our list has spawned several new lists in that time...CARE, the Shy-Drager list, PARKLISTE, and now the Dutch-speaking list. Keep up the good work! You're a great group of people...among the most caring and knowledgeable people I know. It's great to have Charlie Meyer back with us. BarbM, Janet P., Judith, Ivan, Dale, Don, Carole, Kathryn, Bill and all the others..you make 'listowning' a pleasure. In memory of Alan Bonander, I wish us all a happy birthday. May research soon make this list a pleasant memory. JM .... if you could only see us now.
