TO ALL: Re Barbara's request for a Report on the Parkinson Foundation of
Canada AGM & Conference in Montreal Canada Sept 16-18 1994
Was I the only person there who can post to this information exchange?
It seems that no one else is going to report -- So I will list the
speakers and topics NOW and in another posting give some idea of
content. I have tapes (they are not the best quality) but they can serve
to answer any questions-- I hope.
A note to Barbara Y --Your answers will be in part 2
