Lane Evans is an 8th term Democrat from the 17th district of Illinois who has been a Udall bill cosignor during both of the 104th and 105th sessions. Perhaps PWPs from his disitrict could contact him, especially if a relationship had been developed previously. His age (46) certainly fits the dreaded ' baby boomer' profile. It is sad that we have to wait in the wings for 'another person to be struck, but we do need help, especially in/near Rep. Porter (R-ILL-10) country. If nothing else, let's give him and his family sources for useful materials and the location of a support group, both in DC and Rock Island, ILL. , where his home is. His district offices are located in Moline, 309-793-5760, Galesburg, 309-342-4411 His DC office phone is 202-225-5905 and Fax is 202-225-5396. His Legislative Aid is Tom O'Donnell. The Bloomington-Normal Parkinson Support Group is in the same phone area code as Rep. Lane. Is there anyone on the LISTSERV who lives in that area?
