Alan: You really have me curious now! What a great plot for a mystery story...it sounds like a scene from (I think it was called) the Black Widowers Club...in fact, I did read a mystery story in which one of the main characters was an executive in a big corporation...he had PD and the (mis)use of his drugs was one of the sub-plots. Back to reality. What was the purpose of the meeting? How did they find out about each other? Did they all work in the same type of business...yes, I am thinking 'chemicals'? How can we make use of this information? I don't know any high-powered executives nor any well-known people who could influence them. Speaking of high-powered and well-known...has anyone any more information about the Pope and Parkinson's?...or about Billy Graham....or how Mr. Udall is doing? Barb
