Hi All---and a special welcome to new members ================================================================ With all the members joining the PARKINSN list I think the time has come to dust off this old message about the USA associations, add some Canadian addresses, and ship it out again. (My thanks to the unknown author of the USA list) Sorry, I don't have an address for PAN (Parkinson Action Network), but I'm sure some one out there will send it to the PARKINSN list.
