Hello Parkinsons Mailing List. My name is Rick Schreiber. I actually signed up for this mailing list for my girlfriend, Julie Mahnke, who unfortunately doesn't have Internet access. Below is her message introducing herself to the list. Please send any personal replies to this account and I will assure that they (and the regular list messages) get to Julie. --- My name is Julie Mahnke. I am a graduate student of Speech Pathology at Nazareth college in Rochester, NY. My grandmother was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease 20 years ago and I have recently chosen to research this topic as part of my graduate work. I am specifically interested in the effects of Parkinsons disease on patient's receptive and expressive language, memory, and cognition. Although my grandmother has not developed symptoms of dementia, I am pursuing this as a subtopic of my work. I would be grateful to receive any information which would assist me in my research. - Julie Mahnke C/O Rick Schreiber ([log in to unmask])
