Jane, Please don't apologies. It did my ego the world of good to think I was in international demand. I had my bags half packed and was thinking of asking QANTAS for a freebie on the grounds that I am one hell of a nice person (that would have done it don't you think?). Being diagnosied at 37 is a rare priviledge. Someone once calculated that the chance of getting PD so young was about the same as the chance of winning a big prize in Lotto. How did we get so lucky. <grin> Have a good meeting on August 18th. I hope my namesake from Mt Shasta can make it. Dennis. (the Perth one)
