Friday evening, April 25, on 20/20, Hugh Downs mentioned that Billy
Graham would  next week's 20/20 guest. . In past interviews Billy
has not come out of the closet about his PD. Why does he remain  mute on
this subject? His celebrity would help the PD cause. National PD
organizations have asked him for his help, with no success.
Call, 20/20 ABC,  1-800 895 3050,   or E-mail ABC network to suggest
that they  include a question about  PD in next week's interview.
Recently, Billy was on the Larry King show. Again,  no acknowledgement
of his PD illness. He lives in Greensboro, NC. The  local paper is the
Greensboro News and Record, 200 E. Market St., Greensboro, NC, 27401. I
will send them a copy of this message.
Is any one else puzzled by bis silence?  Billy  told Barbara Walters
that he felt  that he was a   failure in life.  My Neurologist, of
course, attributed this remark to Billy's chemical PD depression. Yes, I
have Parkinson's, and freely admit to this.
