Gerry and Brig, Thank you for you're consoling comment. An added note: Our chapter Pennies for Parkinsons Sparklett'a jug is now being wheeled by a gurny.. Happy to say IT'S TOO HEAVY! Here in Las Vegas we have casinos with coin sorters, as an advantage, to add up the collection. We might have to oblige a weightlifter to get it up the change counter. The Parkinson's Alliance will soon see a check from LVCAPD. Regards, patty
