Jim and all: it was Nov. 1st when my husband Stan & I flew into New Jersey and into the warmth, beauty, and the controlled chaos that is Margaret Tuchman's house and life and the hub of the Parkinson Alliance. It had been 14 months since we had been able to see her but we were able to talk with Carol Walton at least several times a week, so we were apprised of the situation: we knew how Margaret struggled with get her meds straight and her adjustments correct and frankly, nothing could have prepared us for the sight of our beloved Margaret-looking positively regal in jeans and t-shirt with the carriage and walk of a dancer. The doctors at NYU have given the world back one of its' princesses and for that we will be forever grateful.
