Murray, I just read your story that Gail posted to the list. The analogy of PWP to victims of a sinking boat was so appropriate. Here's hoping that your story along with the letters, signed petitions, and in person pleas of those at PAN conference in June will "wake up" the congress to send all the rescue boats ($$$) that we need. Your message was well stated and the figures of speech make anyone who reads it picture the desperate condition of those with parkinson's. Jeanette Fuhr 47/7mos. <[log in to unmask]>
