This is a correction to my previous message. The errors were in the address and fax phone numbers. Also, some areas of the midwest did not see I to I because of a preempting by President Clinton. Eye to Eye with Connie Chung was a great success last night. She did express many of the concerns faced by Young-Onset Parkinson s disease sufferers. I first met Emily Hamilton in 1989. She was 11 years old and in the first year of taking Sinemet. At that time she was taking half of a Sinemet 10/100 twice daily. According to the program she is now on three pills a day. The group pictures were from a YPSN State-wide meeting held in San Luis Obispo, CA in Oct. of last year. Our guest speaker was Dr. Caroline Tanner of the Parkinson's Institute. She also was taking blood samples of Young-Onset people for an early marker in PD onset research study. Credit was not given to the people in those scenes. Following identifies them.
