Thursday, July 27, 1995 Dr. Roger Duvoisin, MD, accepted the post of Chairman of the American Parkinson Disease Association Medical Advisory Board. This is an important position, particularly since it is this board which allocates medical research money provided through the APDA. Dr. Duvoisin is also Professor and Chairman of the Neurology Department of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School [University of Medicine Dentistry of New Jersey -- formerly Rutgers] in New Brunswick, New Jersey. "Dr. D." is a well known and respected researcher, scholar, teacher, and clinician. He is also the author of the well known(to us) PARKINSON'S DISEASE, A PATIENT AND FAMILY GUIDE (now in its 3rd edition with #4 just around the corner). We in the Parkinsonian community look forward to his leadership. Will Johnston, Pres. Delmarva Chapter A.P.D.A., Salisbury, Md. This was sent yesterday but seems to have been lost in the shuffle.
