I sent my Congressman (Packard) the following msg when I received his email saying he would be retiring and not running for re-election.........a little late but still had to do it........Joan Hartman Congressman Packard: Thank you for all you've done....for both the country and the peoeple of California......you will be sorely missed...Having recently retired myself, I understand your need/want for your familly, 34 grandchildren and time with them....and of the retirement life that you have dreamed of....my retirement will not be the one I had hoped for as you see I have been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease at the age of 61....making it impossible for me to take my grandchildren on the (the just you and me baby) trips we had planned to go on "when Grandma retires." .... if you still want a challenge in your retirement years, then you could take up the task of talking with some of your fellow congressman and senators and help get the full funding for the Udall Act (1997) and implementing the research so desparately needed for people with Parkinson's Disease... you could be the one that made the one call that mattered ...the call that got the funding for the research that found the cure....we are so close to a cure... parkinson's disease is striking more and more younger people.......please help those in your familly....my familly....other families....... and all of us young and old with this dreadful disease ...Joan Hartman ----- Original Message ----- From: Packard, Rep <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 1999 2:46 PM Subject: The Packard Perspective > Dear Friend: > > Please visit my website for an important message.
