Hi Bill, Thats good news for you. I like your website, too. I have two sites, one donates a portion of its profits to The Parkinson Alliance (haven't "launched" yet, ran out of my own money..........LOL, ) My Dad had PD, and this site is for him. I hope to save some money this year from my new job to begin marketing the site, and since I work for a printing company, I can do flyers and maybe a targeted mailing. But, I need to get that transmission in my car fixed (daughter is getting her drivers license this month....... more gray hairs coming) Anywho, here is that site. http://dialforacure.com Then I have my old "dated" site, which has some stuff on it I want to dump, and even a BLOG, that is a bit cumbersome. I am going to give it a facelift, hopefully by summer. I want to change it to a family website with photo gallery , calendar, and family blog. Right now, its http://bayardpromotions.com, and has tooo much internet stuff on it. or my blog is http://bayardpromotions.com/weblog Keep in touch, or email me directly if you want to chat about web stuff.

Jeff (I do not have PD, but Dad did, thats why I read this list, and pray for folks---OH, Murray!---You a real blessing! Congrats on the award! William A.
