Dale: You're right. The six examples I included in the letter were all generally positive. (NOTE: I added a sixth just before I left the house for the post office. Couldn't resist. Email arrived as I was putting the package together. 73-year-old woman who had fought PD for 50 YEARS! First symptoms, 1946 at age 23. Next thirty years were "hellish" in her words, but she managed to raise a family. In early 1970s, she participated in testing for Sinemet. SInce then she has become a painter (sold some), a poet (a book of her poems to be published soon) and has earned a college degree.) I had no "tragic" examples to cite. But in the last 24 hours since I mailed the proposal I have received a couple of those stories. If anyone else has an interesting story to tell --- whether upbeat or tragic --- please emial them to me this weekend. I have no idea when the Oprah staff will respond, but I want to be ready. Stan
