Dale, The last thing I would do is to create conflict between us. I in fact also do extensive volunteer work here in Portland, with the PD community and hospital social workers, as an advocate and educator. Dale, we are all grateful to you, and I honor your efforts. The pictures you gave me at the Forum , and of the New York ball of string project, are now in my photo album. The problem is that I have been wronged by the NPF. Melinda Brown publically admitted it was the NPF's fault, in October, 1997, on our List. It is essential to understand that I have a much lower income level than most families on the list. I cannot afford to lose $2200.00 ; my annual income is $8244.00. I am still waiting for a financial payment from Miami. Why is it still withheld?? You are a lawyer. I am not. Maybe YOU have a way to resolve this painful conflict.. In any case, I do not believe in suing Parkinson's organizations. That is totally out of my belief system. Why divide us up when unity is our goal? Dale, what I am saying by boycott is, that if enough people suspend their financial support for the NPF, including you, the NPF decision-makers would compensate me for the $2200 loss, and that would be the end of the conflict.
