^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 49/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) 66 deg.F. rainy ******************************************************************** PLEASE LOOK FOR YOUR NAME IN THE LISTS AT THE END OF THIS POST. A number of List members have been asking questions about the new, "HOT" release, "The Challenge of Young Parkinson's Disease," which features me. In an attempt to answer your questions, here is some basic information. Today, "Challenge" will be screened at my Portland, Maine, Bob and Cecily Anibal's Niagara Falls, New York, and Barb Mallut's (Greater Los Angeles?) PD and YOPD support groups. So far, Barb M. and Hilary Blue have posted "reviews" on our PD List. Can anyone on the PD List PLEASE confirm what we believe here in Portland? We believe that "Challenge" is: - the world's FIRST solo interview of a PWP that runs for a full 30-minute TV time slot. "Challenge" also is: - CONTINUOUS, not cutting away from the studio....and, in the videotape, the advertisements are edited out, reducing length from 30 to 26 minutes running time; - conducted by a PROFESSIONAL public affairs program host; - was edited for TV broadcast on a United Paramount Network affiliate; - has just recently been televised (July 8, 1999, WPME-TV, "Forum 2000" series); The LENGTH of the "Forum 2000" interview, 26 minutes, allows enough time to touch on a number of medical and psychological topics important to persons suffering from PD. It cannot by any means cover everything, but it holds your interest, and is quite up-to-date. Please use e-mail to acknowledge receipt if you purchase a copy from me. IF you have time to write a "review" for our PD LIst, your comments are VERY helpful to our List readers. Here is your latest ordering information: -Price: $13.00 USA per boxed, bubble-packed tape for First Class delivery in 5-7 days, or, $14.00 USA for Priority Delivery in 2-3 days. -Send payment for 1 or more tapes to: Ivan Suzman, 9 Range Street, Portland, Maine 04103 USA. -Personal check or bank cheque only. -Advance payment necessary.
