Hello, Robert and welcome. You have faced and dealt with your PD much better than I did in my first five years, which were marked with depression and inactivity. Hopefully as the disease continues to creep into your life, you will continue to face it with grace and a beautiful reaction, like your nice songs and words. I appreciate your efforts.

Bartoo Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 2:45 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: I would like to introduce myself my name is Robert Bartoo and I live in Lockport, N.Y. USA. i have had Parkinsons for 3 years now and aside from minor tremors and other minor ailents, most of the time I am fully able to function as long as I take my medications, I do have some concerns however which I might bring up later. I like to think that I'm a composer, a poet and a playwright and as such I am now in the process of writing a play so I'm looking for input from the PARKINSN commuity on their opinions on certain aspects of the play. I have two websites where you can get a kind of feel for who I am, the first is one that's is still a work in progress and the second one, though more complete, needs to be finished, the two are: parkinsonCD.com http://www.webspawner.com/users/swrit Thank you ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
