Mary Ann... While I agree that I have the moxy to contact Oprah, however, at this time, I'm working a 10 to 12 hour day 7 days a week. I've kept up this pace for the last 5 years and have been running on empty for about a year. I simply have no reserves left that would permit me to take on a project that would require me to not only write Oprah but to do the follow up work necessary to see something like this to it's end - whatever that may be. Please feel free to write her yourself tho... <smile> Barb Mallut "Lil_Honey" on the PD Chat [log in to unmask] ---------- From: PARKINSN: Parkinson's Disease - Information Exchange Network on behalf of Bent Willow Sent: Friday, February 07, 1997 5:13 PM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Re: CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION - VIRGINIA Barb wrote: > Why aren't our friends writing to the media about Parkinson's?

That's a great idea. Why don't your contact Oprah - I have confidence that you have the kind of moxy that'll get her to listen. I'm serious. ----- Mary Ann
