Good Morning All, this is from a grassroots advocate associate and friend... Carol and Carl McLeod - grassroots advocates, PAN Forum attendees, and a creative and delightful couple - were in a car crash last night. Hit by a drunk driver while pulled off the road. Carl McLeod died 09-15-2002 shortly after surgery. I don't know many details. Carol suffered a fractured skull and is still in emergency care but has regained consciousness and apparently may go home tomorrow. Here they are in one of Carol's wonderful films on pd http://pwnkle.com/partners_film.htm Carl was one of those special people who just made you feel like the world can't be such a bad place with a guy like him in it. Supportive of his wife Carol (a PWP) in every way, smart as a whip, involved in advocacy, he managed to make a lot of us at MGH/PLWP and elsewhere think that life was OK, all in all. He was a big part the glue that held us together as a family. Carol and Carl's love for one another is obvious from the video she made only a couple of months before his passing. We will miss more than we can say. The Parkinson's community has lost a truly valuable member. He was 49. Cards or other expressions of sympathy may be sent to Carol at... Carol McLeod 611 Frogtown Road, Union, Kentucky, 41091-9008. * * * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
