I found the University of Rochester Review Article in Charles Meyer's E-mail of December 18th most interesting and informative. An excellent means to find out what research on PD is underway on university campuses. Somewhat related is a note in the Winter/97 edition of the University of Toronto Alumni News magazine where on pages 25 to 26 it describes the funding recently acquired to set up a Jack Clark Chair in Parkinson's Disease Research. The role of the incumbent will be to contriubte significantly to the body of scholarship and research leading to the discovery of a cure for Parkinson's. The chair is named for John H. Clark, who received his bachelor's degree in mining engineering from my alma mater in 1950. A second article pertaining to PD is a tribute to President Emeritus James Ham who died on September 16th at age 76. I had been involved with Jim on a university project during his term as President from 1978 to 1983. At the time he was quite energetic, articulate, able, and apparently in good health. I was therefore surpised to read that his death was a result of "complications from Parkinson's Disease". Ken clements < [log in to unmask] 64/2 Ottawa CANADA
