Dennis... Thanks for painting a picture of some of our wonderful Western Australian List members who do so much for the Parkinson's cause in your neck of the woods. It's not only appropriate for all of us to know WHAT'S being done vis a vis PD in other parts of the world but also WHO is carrying the PD banner in other lands. This is a good reminder to me and my fellow American List members, as we post about the assorted US-based PD events, that we're not the only folks in this big wide world who are making an effort to disseminate the most current PD-related information, and to help find the cure. I salute you ALL for your efforts because every one of us, no matter where we live, benefit from your work.

Anyone not in the know would think we were single handedly saving the world (or at least our little part of it). Whilst I am trully appreciative of Joy's praise the truth is that we are no more deserving of it than many others (and in several cases very much less so). Western Australia is lucky in having a great many (not enough-there are never enough) super-active people in our PD community. Some of them are well known to this list. They include Bob and Joy themselves who are tireless workers in the cause. They co-chaired the committee which organised last years National Conference and are currently extremly busy turning last year's wish list into this year's and next year's reality. Their ability to keep several balls in the air at one time leaves me awed. Another WA couple well known to the list are Robyn and John Lochore. They too seem to have juggling skills that belie the claim that PWP have physical difficulties. John has just been elected president of the association. Brian and Pauline England are both long standing committee members, and both are very active in organising the association's seminars. It is a privledge and a pleasure working alongside such people, not to mention the many others who have never ventured into cyberspace and so are not known in list terms. What we have here is a champion team. I think that makes us really lucky! Dennis. ************************************************** Dennis Greene 48/11 [log in to unmask] http://members.networx.net.au/~dennisg/ ************************************************** Dennis. ************************************************** Dennis Greene 48/11 [log in to unmask] http://members.networx.net.au/~dennisg/ **************************************************
