Jo Ann, thank you for the kind words. (I'm tiny!? You have a friend for life!) The symposium was truly exceptional, I agree; and the best part for me was getting to meet so many cyberfriends. I got to hug Jo Ann Coen!! I only regret that I couldn't stay long enough to hear Dr. Jankovich. However, I spoke in the afternoon to the Texas Dietetic Association, at their annual meeting; and I spoke as forcefully as I knew how for greater understanding of PD. I heard afterward that there were a number of students in the audience, and that several expressed an interest in learning more about PD and perhaps focusing on PD or movement disorders in future. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Should anyone be interested, I'll speak in Winter Park, Florida on April 18; and Traverse City Michigan, June 7, and Grand Rapids Michigan, June 8. It's always a great treat for me to meet folks from Parkinsn. Best regards, Kathrynne Jo Ann Coen wrote: > > Many congratulations to those of you who put together the symposium in > Houston.
