Hi Barbara, Thankyou Barbara and Thankyou All very much for all of your kind words... I am extremely proud to receive this acknowledgement from my peers... The excitement level is building and the feet more fidgety until April 24 in NY,NY... cheers .... murray Parkinson's Unity Walk - Team "Fidgety Feet" http://www.geocities.com/murraycharters/051.html On 7 Jan 2004 at 22:42, Barbara Patterson wrote: What a wonderful way to let Murray know how much his contributions to those of us with Parkinson's are appreciated. How very appropriate it is too. Alan was one of the first people to subscribe to this list and was of immeasurable help to me and the list in the early days. Now Murray is the second Canadian to get a well-deserved award recently...Anne Rutherford received the Governor-General's Caring Canadian Award a few months ago. We've got some impressive folks on this list. :) Speaking of impressive folks, I would like to thank Art Hirsch & his wife & Linda Herman & her husband for the lovely lunch and thoughtful gifts last month in celebration of the list's tenth anniversary. It was a very special day for me and they are very special people. Thank you. Murray: I hope you know how important you are to us.
