welcome back Kees. I'm glad to hear you intend to be active in the 'cause'. You mention some names that are not seen on the list, and there are more I am sure. I find it a comfort that there seems to be someone ready to pick up the torch or to continue the struggle when a PWP fades away. So many names have come and gone over the years..... I remember a poem that was posted the list at the time Alan Bonander died. Alan was the brightest of 'shooting stars' Lighting up the night sky so that the following darkness seemed darker. But progress is being made / the Udall funds will come / the many parkinson groups will learn how to come together / PWP are beginning to speak out / A long and somewhat wandering message I'll post it anyway Anne Rutherford 64 dx1980 Newfoundland
