I agree with you on Janet Reno's acceptance and denial at the early stage of her PD. She is a human being with a lfe and family like the rest of us. She needs her time to accept the disease, pursue answers, be angry, hurt and deny the effect it is having and will have on her life. In time she will come to terms with it and take it on as a personal challenge to use her position to make things happen. I think we may all have some patience with her at this time rather than push her on top of the mountain to handle it all for us. She will do as we all would do. Let's look at this as a blessing in disguise and believe that it will help all of us when she is ready. In the meantime I think it would be terrific for her to be a part of this group and learn and ask questions and chat with all of us. This will be the start of her education, acceptance and allow the energy to build in her to do something about it wherever she can. Sheila De Vine
