Dear Ivan--as always you are right in there pitching! Hope you get a
response to the letter, which I'm sure you will share. Your suggestion to
J.Reno of her personal advocacy was a gentle one--and I was glad for that,
as the poor woman must be under terrible stress in her job. That's
something we need to realize, no matter how great we think her public
advocacy would be. Perhaps, like MJFox, she will step forward more
vigorously once she is free of the enormous responsibilities of her
office. We have to remember that there are some "ordinary PWPs" who won't
even reveal that they have PD for fear of the effect on their
jobs--imagine what the people who already "have their knives out" to get
Reno could do if she started talking about what may be down the road for
her!
