On the subject of associating more faces with PD.........
Anyone who wishes to read a record of the experience of a PWP who
is not a superstar like Mr. Fox may find the 14-page Congressional
Testimony I submitted helpful. I believe it is on-line in the PIEN
archives.
In the last week of September, 1999, my Maine US Senator, Olympia
Snowe, arranged with Pennsylvania's Senator, Arlen Spector, that I be
invited to
send e-mailed Testimony to Washington, DC. I was instructed
to describe in detail what it is like for me to face PD
every day. I was asked to provide the typed equivalent of
a 10-minute Senate floor speech by Senator Snowe.
I was told that it would be published as part of the Official Record
of the September 28, 1999 Senate Hearing , at which a dyskinetic Mr. Fox
testified for the first time. Michael Fox, Joan Samuelson, and Jim
Cordy
were the other PWP's who were physically present, testifying , at that
hearing.
It would be great if our 4 PWP Testimones could be published in one
booklet by an interested publisher.
