Lorraine, It sounds like the same problem i'm having. Both newspapers are big and bigger. They have thousands and thousands of readers! and they won't help with PD Awareness. I will write a lettter to the Editor and ask them ''Don't they like people with Parkinson's?'' Some of the stories they do publish are ...............well, you know. But, here in New Jersey, there is the Greater Media News. It's publishing company comprised with about 5 newspapers, each carrying the news for 2 particular towns each. It is a weekly newspaper. The Greater Media News will be printing "MAKE THEM AWARE". NINA - Brian, the editor, asked for the name of your town and state where you live. Also, if you represent any organization, the name of it. Thank you. Here is an example of the ignorance some people have: It was obvious that I have PD and a young lady (33 years old) came up to me and asked me if I had PD , She apologized for being so forward. She had tremors in 2 of her fingers on her left hand. She was concerned and asked her Chiropractor if this could be the start of PD. He told her "You don't have to worry at all about having Parkinson's , You are much too young for that disease." Wow! this guy has some learning to do Claire ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
