Hi All - Please pardon this "mass mailing." I would much prefer to write to each one of you individually but time simply does not permit that. As you know, I had experimental surgery for the implantation of cells - derived from pigs - into my brain for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. The procedure was performed in September, 1996. And the results have been impressive. The media has latched on to this story over the past 5 years. Interviews have been conducted by "Frontline," "60 Minutes," "Discovery/TLC," "Oprah," etc. Last week a production crew was here from "The CBS Evening News With Dan Rather." This team consisted of a producer, a videographer, a sound guy, and the reporter, Wyatt Andrews. On Tuesday and Wednesday (12th - 13th) of this week's "Evening News" there will be a 2-part article on organ transplants. CBS has just informed me that I will appear in the second half. But you are urged to watch both parts. While my role is a small one this is a very important story with implications for all of us. The News airs at 6:30 PM EST on your local CBS outlet. I thought you'd like to know - Jim Finn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
