I'd be happy to hassle a Congressperson in support of PD funds. But, because I live in the UK, 800 numbers are not very useful. They can't be called directly, only as pay numbers through expensive telephone calling cards. Perhaps everybody who suggests lobbying could give the appropriate email address. But not every Parkie finds it easy to type. So perhaps activists could write suitable complete text that could be cut and paste. Of course, anyone who dislikes the text could ignore it. You write it, I'll email it! Finally, re the height correspondence. It's horribly unscientific. But, since you asked, I'm 6' 2''. Regards to all. Stephen Lofthouse 51/1
