Art 'n Helen.... Hey youse people - while all you movers 'n shakers are "doing yer thing'" in DC, all us caring, thoughtful, support and nurturing individuals are here holding the virtual fort for ya! <smirk> Ohhh.... lemme add "beeeee-u-ti-ful" to the above list of well-earned superlatives! <admiring self in mirror> (giggle) Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] ---------- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange on behalf of Arthur Hirsch Sent: Sunday, June 14, 1998 7:01 PM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: PAN Forum Helen Mason and I are sitting here, reading your complaints about the lack of mail while your movers and shakers are here in DC. The subject of this year's forum is "Visibility into Action." As Joan put it, last year we gained visibility when the Udall bill passed. Now that we have that visibility, let's do something with it. Among those on the list of participants: Ken Aidekman Bob Bell * Barbara Brock * Perry Cohen * Jim Cordy Maryhelen Davila Nicole Gall Dolores Gross * Bill Heitman * Art Hirsch * Bob Martone * Helen Mason * Kees Paap * Pat Schark * Dale Severance * Ivan Sussman * Margaret Tuchman * Mary Yost * * - these are people whom we have already seen. The session started out with a speech of introduction by David Rosenthal, the board chairman of PAN, and a stirring speech by fearless leader Joan Samuelson. After the playing of a tape describing how Parkinsons destroyed the lives of three couples, we went around the room for introductions. Because of severe storms in the DC area, a lot of people had trouble getting into the U.S. Capitol area - so we may have missed several people today. Things are going along well - we both did a lot of networking and met a lot of new people including each other. More tomorrow as time allows. Art and Helen Mason
