Just a pre-dawn brain - storm: look below..... ^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 49/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 37 deg. F :-) ******************************************************************** Last Sat. morning I noticed Julia Child erratically trying to chop some beautiful letuce. Her male assistant chopped for her. It was SO noticeable. Her COGWHEEL-like forearm motions, stooped shoulders, inconsistent finger movements, and bursts of soft speech seemed so PARKINSON's-like. SO, could JULIA CHILD go to the CAPITOL for us?? Does she have Parkinson's Disease?? I guess the lady who went down African rapids with Humphrey Bogart had benign essential tremor, not PD. Have I misssed something??? And Michael must have his strategic reasons But I don't get it. With the killing typing and writing and costly phoning, my testimony surely would be read if PAN endorsed it. I can't understand why my painful, never-ending 14 years of struggle isn't enough of a story to get Michael's full support. Mike, PLEASE send the testimony to the powerful Appropriations members! Do I REALLYA have to beg???????? :-) IVAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN
