Dear Parkinson's List members, The following letter is being sent again. It suggests that if you wish to write a comment to Archbishop Tutu about helping us in A p r i l , a posting to our List would probably be best at the moment. The original text somehow did not show on my screen, so I am re-sending it, in case those of us who wish to comment also had blank screens. I am getting worried that Archbishop Tutu, a MAJOR world religious leader, is being, er, umm, not being taken seriously enough by us folks.. Why are there so few responses? Or am I just a little anxious? Is his color an issue that blocks some of us?? Please try to respond. I need to know your thoughts. Thank you, Ivan Suzman ^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 49/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 27 deg.

They are VERY receptive, and distinctly compassionate. I am trying to do everything they need, humbly and completely. I believe that YOUR e-mail messages to him could be quite helpful. I feel that placing these messages on our List would be better than e-mailing his office directly. This tactic would help me to know what Listmembers are thinking about his potential involvement with us. I also mailed him a long, personal letter, which he had requested. I asked him to do whatever he felt he could do. I emphasized April, because it is Parkinson's Awareness Month. I wrote about how truly difficult it is for most of us PWP's to be heard. I hope that he can help us visibly. I am actually VERY uneasy tonight, because I do not want to push. I am hoping that I am letting him lead the way. I will follow what he tells me to do. (I know, I know, Ivan the follower??) So, I am keeping my fingers crossed that I am doing this job sensitively. .
