Hi Joan-- you heard from Hilary about the valiant Porky and Porquetta and
their fundraising for PD.
In addition, there was a very long--some folks thought MUCH too long--
thread about a variety of pigs involved with John Bjork's wonderful
imaginary town of "Parkinsaw,MI". I suggest you can find all of this on
John's website--but I'm forwarding a sample to you, so you can judge if it
is your "cuppa tea".It was fun while it lasted, for some of us, but others
found it not to their liking, too much of a diversion from the serious
business of PD. This had a little something to do with the founding of
the SPARKLE list for NON-PD items and humor, BTW.
