Thanks, Mary Ann... I dropped Stan Houston an email and volunteered to be a part of the group, if we're invited to take part in an media-type event. It sounded like a good opportunity to "spread the PD word," as well a chance to meet any number of our list friends.

Getting a spot on Oprah (or where ever) would certainly help our efforts with the Udall Bill. Incidently, Oprah would be a great opportunity for many of us to see those marvelous people we have come to know and love on this list (if they would wish to participate). John Cottingham, Barb Patterson, Camilla, Dave Boots, and Marvin Giles come to mind (Barb Mallut - I wish you could be there too). There are many more who could bring to the public a terrific understanding of the pain, heart break, and devastation PD visits upon loved ones, families and friends. ------ Mary Ann
