Celia: Thank you for your posting 'Thoughts on PD'. Your 'thoughts' express mine more clearly than I can. BTW, I think that I read that Katherine Hepburn has Essential Tremor. The Pope DOES look like he has PD. On the other hand, Billy Graham HAS PD but doesn't look like he has. In Tueday's paper, it was reported that impressionist George Kirby died at age 71 'at a nursing home during the weekend after a long bout with Parkinson's ...he was a big, fat, jolly human being who just lit up a room and made everybody laugh'. 'He was best known for....his dead-on takes of women, notably Pearl Bailey, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan.' Barb
