^^^^^^WARM GREETINGS FROM^^^^^^^^^^ Ivan Suzman 48/10 [log in to unmask] Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 29 deg. F cloudy *********************************************************** Hi Barb Mallut and List, I think this is a great idea, and I hope that someone can take this and run with it. Or do the parkie shuffle with it. Speaking of running, hopefully we'll see caregivers and friends organizing Runs for Parkinson's. I loved Dale Severance's enthusiasm when he talked about baton passing from support group to support group across the continent. I agree that sometimes we're idea people, who can't follow through BUT, ideas are the beginnings of great achievements. Hey, List, guess what--Channel 6 here in Portland, an NBC affiliated station, called me THURSDAY, and is going to do a half-hour show --an original one-- on Parkinson's and the Udall Act. Diane Atwood and Jim Crocker at WCSH-TV hope to air it in January. Any suggestions for WCSH-TV would be welcome--I promise to pass them on.
