The American Parkinsons Disease Association (1-800-223-2732) distributes a pamphlet entitled "Be Active: A Suggested Exercise Program for People With Parkinson's Disease." The Parkinson's Disease Foundation (212-923-4700) publishes "Exercise for the Parkinson Patient with Hints for Dailey Living." I'm sure both are free for the asking. -------------------- Sid Roberts 68/dx3 [log in to unmask] Youngstown, Ohio
