Art, The following article which you posted earlier today is of much interest, in light of the lengthy proposal I have written and discussed with people at various Parkinson's organizations. Within the next couple or few days, I will be in a better position to put this idea out to the list-at-large for some feedback. I thank you for sharing this article, as it reinforces, that what "on the surface" may appear to be a quirky piece of information, I believe can be at the heart of a successful awareness-raising and fundraising effort. There are two pivotal bits of information, I expect to have in hand within the next few days, that are important to the strength and implementation of this idea. I look forward to sharing them with the people participating on this list. Sincerely, Alison Landes
