I talked to a real nice lady at Medical Publishing House (Thanx Bob and Joy) and she said that she would mail me a sample update and on receiving it I could decide on subscribing.... I rushed in and told her that I wanted to get started right away and that I'd heard a great endorsement that had me sold etc etc, and she said to send a check in US $, for 40 or 50 (depending on where it should go to) to the address marked below and to give her and address where the mailings should go to. I am printing out the instructions on joining this list and the care list and mailing them to her (she did not seem aware of it when I talked to her) and I wrote a short note telling her that maybe they could mention the list in the next update and it would be nice if the 2 forums knew each other. Thanx everybody for the informative postings, you've been a big help. abi From: Bob & Joy Graham <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Parkinson's Update Comments: To: Abi Murthy <[log in to unmask]> To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN <[log in to unmask]> Abi Murthy wrote asking >IS this a magazine (Parkinson's Update) that one can subscribe to?
