NO! This is not just news. THIS IS HORRIBLE NEWS. Stan Houston nearly single-handedly had us heading for the Oprah show. His posts were so upbeat and full of energy. Does it take his death to make him VISIBLE? Stan Houston is DEAD??? I hate to ask this--but was it suicide? He was a younger Parkinsonian. Would someone PLEASE fill us in? I am VERY sad and very sorry to hear of this. He posted us--I think about ten months ago, about his impending pallidotomy. He seemed so hopeful. Did the Pallidotomy fail?? I have so many questions. His family must be devastated. I have been wondering why we haven't heard from him since last fall. This is BAD, BAD news.
