Joan, I don't know if you remember or not, but Cong. MacDade from Pa. would not make his PD known because of this very argument. He had to evidentially because of circumstances, but to give credit where it is due, he worked behind the scenes to make the Defense Dept. begin their research on PD. I remember this well because he sat in front of me and told me he would not bring his Parkinson's out into the open. I was annoyed and told him and when I found out about the Defense Dept. work, I saw him in his home district and I apologized to him. I happened to be in Washington with Cong. McHale from my district( you might remember the only Democratic Congressman to ask for Clinton to resign) when he had the phone call from Layne Evans telling him of his diagnosis. They were very good friends, but hat was quite a few years ago, and I think Cong. Evans has done a remarkable job, PD or no PD. Thank you for the response, if you will give me her campaign office phone number, I will call and voice my opinion. Thanks, Gerry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
