Here's our chance guy and gals.  Send something to Dr. Kelsall that will
help educate MD's of our fight each day.  I didn't get mine to her said in
1-2 sentences, but as an editor, I'm sure Dr. Kelsall is quite capable of
editing my paragraph down to size.  I do wish I'd mentioned that it is OK
for an MD to refer patients on to neuro's when the diagnosis is as
difficult as that of PD.
