I am new on this list, so I guess I will just introduce myself. I am a student at the university of Michigan and my father was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. This has been extremely difficult for me to deal with so I thought this would be helpful for me to see that other people are going through the same thing. My father has been incredibly strong but it does bother him. He is 66 years old and was on the verge of retiring. He changed his mind about that and will be producing "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcaot" this fall at another Michigan university. He has definitly gained strength from this news regarding his health. I have read many of your stories and they are very touching, thank you. Andrea Sakalauskas ([log in to unmask])
