----- Original Message ----- From: Ivan M Suzman To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Saturday, October 16, 2004 8:16 AM Subject: "It's just the shakes, that's all " Hello PIENO friends, This is the spell-checked version of my complaint against Alex Trebek, host of "Jeopardy ." Did anyone else see the episode? I think it happened at 7:55 PM on Thursday, Oct. 14. Ivan Suzman ####################################### Dear ABC-TV Executives, I demand an apology from ABC, and demand the removal of Alex Trebek from the prime time show, Jeopardy. He has minimized all PWP's,. and our struggle to be heard , referring to his deft stick-handling of an imaginary hockey stick while on-air before millions of viewers, with the inappropriate and inane remark, "It's just the shakes, that's all." NO, Mr. Trebek, Parkinson's Disease is a devastating disease of paralysis and loss of suppleness of the entire human body, affecting the muscles under voluntary control and those not under conscious control (the autonomic).. Mr. Trebek, how can you be so cold-hearted?? ABC, you should REMOVE HIM FROM the show. For God's sake get someone in there who has a sensitivity to those with disabilities, including 4 million American PD sufferers and their families!! And, by the way, does Jeopardy have handicapped accessible contestant booths?? The whole Jeopardy organization is going to have to explain this colossal error to me, and Mr. ALI, and Mr. FOX, and several million Parkinson's sufferers throughout this country. Ivan Suzman Portland, Maine 54 (55 next month), have had PD for 20 grueling and gruesome years I DEMAND AN APOLOGY! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
