I'm a new observer to this list. My Father (74) was recently diagnosed=
 with a mild case of Parkinson's. Although he was told something=
 else would probably kill him before the Parkinson's gets severe,=
 he's an information nut and is interested in gathering all he can.
 
I've been reading some of the more pratical postings and forwarding=
 them to him. Two motives: First to get him the information. Second=
 to get him interested in having an Internet account. I think he'd=
 enjoy being online (he's a widower of 2 years) and this may be a=
 practical demonstration.
 
He asked I post the following resource which he found particularly=
 helpful:
 
        The Parkinson's Handbook
        Dwight McGoon, MD
        WW Norton, NYC
 
Hard to find in bookstores, available from:
        JA Majors Co.
        1851 Diplomat Drive
        Dallas, TX 75234-9014
        800-633-1851
 
McGoon was a Mayo surgeon when he was diagnosed Parkinson's and had=
 to retire. Art emphasizes this is not to be confused with The Handbook=
 of Parkinson's.
 
Thanks for the information you all post. It is appreciated.
