Friday, May 11, 2001 Reno honored for approach to Parkinson's disease PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Janet Reno has been honored by the American Academy of Neurology for her "frank approach and dignity" in dealing with Parkinson's disease. The group gave the former U.S. attorney general a public leadership award Tuesday. Reno was diagnosed with the degenerative brain disorder in 1995. She said she wanted to do everything she could to demonstrate that the disease does not prevent people from serving their community or their country and pursuing goals important to them. "My hand shakes; otherwise I feel fine," Reno told reporters while signing autographs. "Even if you have a disability, even if your hand shakes, even if you have seizures, you can still try to be productive in this world." http://www.courttv.com/people/2001/0509/reno_ap.html ******** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
