Caring for one another requires nothing but love. > Right on as usual John... Bottom line is caring for one another and finding ways to cope with Parkinson's, ways to influence funding for Parkinson's research, ways to share information, ways to reach out and support one another... These are trying times around the world no doubt about it, and we must remember to focus our heart felt sympathies and concerns for our fellow Parkies in the positive manner this list has given in the past. Like some others, I think it's ok to "vent" when a Parkie feels the need... but also necessary to respect and assist etc.... I realized this morning how I miss some of the oldtimers... Dennis Greene; Barb Mallut; Judith Richards; Art Hirsch, Joe Bruman, and Simon Coles, Barbara Patterson; and you John and Brian 'n Charlie 'n on and on... I do miss their jocularity, their comradery, support, and good sense... (I know... the e-mail goes both ways... I could drop 'em a line...) I hope y'all are all ok, and just lurkin' on the side... the CURE is just five years away now... I know Sid Levin was in the hospital, I hope to see his feistiness back here anyday now... I know the divine Ms. Mallutt has had 'puter problems and misses us all.. (and prolly wouldn't mind hearin' from some of us too) Cheers ....... murray [log in to unmask] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
