Dear Betty, The following is part of a "shell letter" I wrote for someone to send on our behalf: "His wife had wondered for several years before if he were angry with her because his face was so stony. When she would ask, he would assure her that he wasn't and sometimes seemed a bit miffed that she would bother to ask such a thing." There was an intensity in that face which most people would interpret as anger. It is all such a pity as I think it often interferes with relationships prior to the diagnosis of Parkinson's. Having the knowledge that it is a symptom of Parkinson's and not anger has been most reassuring. It is one of the silver linings in this dark cloud. Sincerely, Barb Brock 53 cg Art 56/ 1.5 years
