To: INTERNET:[log in to unmask] With the greatest sorrow I was asked to notify the List of the death of Alan Bonander. Alan was a frequent contributor to the List. He was a charter member of the Young Onset Parkinsons group and was a past president of that organization in California. Alan was born on May 14, 1940 and died at home on August 1, 1996. Not only did Alan suffer from PD diagnosed 12 years ago, he had asthma and it was the asthma which caused his death. Alan visited Sweden and had a pallidotomy with surgery performed by Dr. Laitinen. His survivors include his wife, Jane and two sons, Jason and Ross. Jane resides at the family home at 506 Riviera Place, San Ramon, CA 94583. His father Jason lives in Providence, RI, brother Robert in Cambridge, MA and sister Evelyn in Boston, MA. Memorial services will be announced. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made to the National Parkinsons Foundation, 1501 NW 9th Ave., Bob Hope Road, Miami Florida 33136- 1494. Bob Cowan <[log in to unmask]>
