As one who has benefited immeasurably over the years from the CSR, and who has tried to pass the information on to others who might learn more about PD and provide better care to PWP, please let me say that your work has had both an immediate and a lasting effect on the world of people who interact with those who have Parkinson's. Without your work I would not have been stimulated to pursue so very many areas outside of my own professional area, education, and understanding. Without your regular contributions, I would not have been inspired to learn more about other avenues of professional work and research. Because of you, other health professionals have learned about PD, its aspects, and ways to counteract its effects. For those PIEN members who have not had the joy of meeting Joe in person, let me add that he is just as fascinating, gentlemanly, multifacted, and complex, in person as he is on the listserv. Joe, I salute you and the CSR reviews. I continue to refer to them regularly, and remember you whenever I do. God bless you and your work!
