Kelly, The post was today by John Cottingham..... Alan Bonander, one of the original list members, and a YOPD member....died quite suddenly several years ago (asthma complications). Alan was very active on the list during his lifetime...and very active in the California YOPD group. David Boots is a YOPD from northern California, known by many of us throughout the country via contacts at the PAN forum in WDC. David left the PARKINSN list several years ago, but continues to write vivid scenes from his Parkinsons experiences. Rita Weeks 56/12
