Good morning everyone, Thank you Janet, for reinforcing the messages below! And thank you, Fran Landes, my sister, diagnosed with Parkinson's, 5 years ago, in her mid-forties, for calling me this morning, and holding my feet to the fire, to fine-tune what we'll cover on the radio show today at 10:30 a.m. Fran keeps me focused. I love you, Fran. I have half an hour until I leave for the studio. Hope you can all tune in to listen. This show is for you. In South Florida, 1470 AM radio.
