Hi Pennie & Terry, Do you live in Japan? This is Joy Graham - from Perth here - If you come to the conference I hope to meet you too! Bob and I organised the last conference in Perth and this was when we "discovered" Kathrynne Holden. Jeanna is right, she is worth coming to hear!!! We are launching an Australian version of her nutrition manual at the conference. I can assure you our conferences are GREAT! Now, another thing. We (that is the Parkinson's Associaiton of WA and Curtin University school of nursing) recently held a course on PD for health professsionals to which a nurse from Japan attended. Would you like to be put in touch with her? I have no real idea of where she lives, but I do have her email address. My best wishes JOY Graham (CG Bob, nearly 60, PD for ten years)
