BILL, THIS IS EXCITING!!! KEEP IT UP!!! Exciting that the groups got together for a conference call. Exciting that they all seem to agree that something needs to be done. Exciting that you have reported in detail and in a timely manner to the Parkinson's Information Exchange about the discussion that you had. Exciting that our leaders are leading - together! We're going to get the best results if we can continue to work this way. Regular conference calls would appear to be a great way to go. Regular reporting to the listserv will help keep over 1600 people behind you and working with you - whether they live in the United States or not. The better you keep us informed, the more we can help. Let's hear more of this - lots more.
