Hi Nancy: it's good to see you on again; you were one of the first respondents to the Parkinsaw stories, way back there in February. I was very interested in your success with 'Spreading the Word' at the personal level in your Church services. I had sent the package to every newspaper, radio and TV station in the U.P. and only got two responses: A radio station at the Soo, and WLUCTV. WLUC informed me yesterday that based on the bulletin/Prayer package received, they were planning a special on Parkinson's in about 2 weeks. They promised to let me know when, and I'll email you when I learn the time/date. Maybe you'll see something in the Gazette yet; I followed-up over the past two days with all U.P. organizations I initially contacted, so you never know. Interestingly, I never heard a word from my hometown area paper, The Escanaba Daily Press. Well, back to the grind. I was good to see a fellow Yooper on the List again.
