Please be aware of Joan Blessington Synder's "SHAKE, RATTLE & ROLL", 7th
Annual Parkinson's Walk/Ice Cream Social held on Peoria Riverfront, Sunday,
September 21st, 2008. They will be honoring Brig and I will be speaking.
Joan has been a blessing to the Parkinson's community for many years, I am
thrilled to be able to attend and speak on Parkinson's and my husband's battle
of 22 years with this disease. As you all know, he was a devoted advocate
and participant in many clinical studies at NIH and Pennsylvania Hospital. He
never gave up until the end when Parkinson's did ravage his body and mind.
As a final donation, he requested his brain be donated to the University of
Miami for research. He was our hero and we honored him at his memorial mass
with this quote:
"His life was gentle; and the elements so mixed in him
that nature might stand up, and say to all the world,
THIS WAS A MAN!"
