Dear All: On May 18th, Congressman Lane Evans (D-Rock Island) announced that he was also battling Parkinson's. I sent him an e-mail on that occasion and got back a wonderful, personal note thanking me for my support(even tho I'm not a constituent). I have been keeping my eyes open for an update but nothing so far; although with his upcoming bid for re-election, I'm sure that we will hear something. He wants to be re-elected so I suspect he may downplay his symptoms. Did I read on this list that Michael J Fox was a parkie? Duh...! I can't remember. Nancy-I'm so glad to hear that your pallidotomy was a success!! Welcome to the club! -- Joan Snyder (47/8) "Do or do not.
