Hi Tamara and the rest of the PD list gang,
This is Don Biggs and as I said in a prior note, my sister is in the
Michigan State Department of Social Services and had access to a lot of
information on PD for my parents that I would try to pass on. This is
probably old stuff to most of you, but I have seen some other requests for
information on some of this stuff from "Down Under" and I got a nice
note from another Michigan resident on the list who might be interested
in some of this as well. I hope others can glean some information that
might be of some help too.
