Jules, I happened to come upon the MSNBC program Sunday evening and wondered how I could have missed it on the listserve. I also think they mentioned several times that one of his reasons for announcing his PD was that he felt he needed to do something to help those of us who share his affliction. I think it will be interesting to see what happens next, we could sure use his help.
