George!! So good to hear from you after such a long time. I can absolutely vouch that you are doing much more than "holding up quite well" -- for those of you who have not had the pleasure of meeting George in person, he has enlisted a Marine Corps drill sergeant for a personal trainer, walks backward, takes horseback riding lessons, and is training a somewhat wilful pooch, Pinto. He produces a newsletter that is about people, and incidentally mentions PD on occasion. He has produced a first-class videotape dealing with his second pallidotomy. He is an excellent cook. And boy, does he know lobster! Wishing we could all somehow get together for a giant lobster feed............... Best, Kathrynne "George J.
