Hi Murray - Thanks for your note and kind words. You are correct, the past 5 years have been incredible. As you know I have given the media complete access to my experiences with xenotransplantation. This has resulted in an enormous amount of publicity for our common cause; Parkinson's disease. However, I have done nothing more than anyone else would do given the same circumstances. It was a last attempt to save my neck. Plain and simple. Let's save those medals you mentioned for the scientists and researchers. They really are working on our behalf! Warmly - Jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
