Hi, Camilla & Peter: What professional standing do you mean? I am becoming quite experienced at having Parkinson's but have no "professional standing". I am a secretary in the School of Nursing at McMaster University... Thank you for your comments about my response and for urging other members to follow up. A suggestion....most local news agencies have an internet address. When (if) you write to NBC, a copy to your local news media could be included. The more awareness of Parkinson's there is, the better. Barb On Sat, 18 Nov 1995, Peter Flintermann wrote: > Barb--that was a GREAT response to NBC news!
