"Battling Parkinson's" is the banner headline on the front page of the Shawnee Mission neighborhood section of the Saturday, April 19, 1997 Kansas City Star. T'ai chi and its benefits to PDers was one feature story secured by one of our dynamo support group facilitators, Ruth Kittrell, and highlighting Virginia Packet of Overland Park who has been practicing t'ai chi for a year. There is to be an hour-long session at 1:30 pm at the Village Presbyterian Church 6641 Mission Road, Prairie Village. The second feature was on "Merriam woman lobbying for bill to boost money for research" discusses the Udall bill. Outside of a curious misquote at the end which states the reason the bill is receiving support is because PD research is a "blank spot" rather than what I said a "bright spot" the story provides a brief overview of the bill. The reporter also translated the PD listserve to "surfing the internet." A third story on the Walk-A-Thon appears inside the section on page 6. Barbara Blake-Krebs [log in to unmask] Merriam KS
