Dear Listmemebers, I have been on this list since January when I was diagnosed with PD. I have gained such knowledge, support, and genuine affection from all of you. I can't put into words how helpful this has been for me. However, my summer season is beginning and I have been and will be working long hours so I am forced to put a hold on the list until the season winds down and I have time again to handle the volume of mail. I hope to correspond with those who wish to off list. I check my mail in the morning while I wait for my first dose to kick in so please feel free to contact me anytime. I just cant take the time right now to wade through the whole list of messages for a while. I will miss you all and will be back as soon as possible. Probably mid August. I will be thinking of all of you this summer as I feel I have gained a whole new group of friends here. Anyone who plans to visit the Smoky Mountains this summer, PLEASE look me up. I am located in Cherokee NC 33 miles from Gatlinburg TN. Email me and I will tell you how to find me. Hope to meet some of you. With tears I say farewell for now. Jennifer Smith
