Subject: Jim Cordy--Man of the Year! I can not tell you how impressed I am with the effort (AND RESULTS) put forth and obtained by Jim Cordy. If he is not an inspiration to us all, he should be. I, fortunately, do not have Parkinson's disease, but have been an active professional lobbiest, for medical research for nearly 20 years.(I serve as the Washington Counsel for the National Parkinson's Foundation). I've seen efforts succeed and fail; I have been professionally pessimistic about the chances of the Udall Bill succeeding. But following and working with Jim Cordy...a full time volunteer...over these past months, I have become converted. I cannot improve upon the advice he is giving you. It's sound, proven, and passionate. If, the Udall Bill does not pass this Congress, we will not have failed, but only stumbled. We shall pick ourselves up again, as many of you are accustomed to, and move on to victory. I wish us all the best of luck and success.
