This as well as the CARE list and two others have helped me over the years
with different aspects of this lousy disease until my wife Barbara passed on
a month ago. During all that time, I have also exchanged numerous personal
posters with a good many individuals on these lists. I do depend on humor
to pick me up and survive from the Holocaust to widowhood and I follow my
own conscience to dictate what is proper or decent, but I save my
contributions in this field to SPARKLE which as an offshoot of this list was
designed for that purpose. I delete a lot more posters today than I did
just six weeks ago from several lists because my interests in finding
solutions to living with PD have waned considerably or actually vanished
because I am no longer living with it. However, I am still strongly
committed to work with the PD community and medical research to find a cure.
Ergo, I will stay awhile, but if I find that my experience in pharmaceutical
chemistry is wasted here, I will not hesitate to leave.
