Well, I've gotten three inquiries about the sources of the info supporting the list of people I named as having PD, so maybe this is not just PD "trivia". Now that I think of it, what seems important to me about the accuracy of a list of noted people with PD is the potential use of such a list for publicity and public relations purposes. So I did a little digging. I will have to look further for some of the others, which just came from other people's lists. Or perhaps some of you who are librarians can help with Salvador Dali, Habib Bourguiba and Yuri Andropov, as well as document some of the others on Jeana's web page. About George Wallace -- I thought this was common knowledge. I don't have a reference. I offer the references below. And I added a few names. Phil Tompkins Photographer Margaret Bourke-White.
