This idea is excellent. I would like to help. Teresa, Daughter of Mama (57/43/38) -----Original Message----- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Paul Lauer Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 1999 10:15 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Just an idea Dear list: Over the weekend, I bumped into an acquaintance who I hadn't seen in 3 or 4 years who had developed PD, as I had, in the intervening period. After a short while, it was painfully obvious how little he knew about the disease even though he was in his third year with it. As it happens, he and his wife are not computerized, so my intended suggestion to get on the list would have gone nowhere. But I began to think about all the other pwp who are not on the list and wonder what their extent of knowledge was. Aside from what I learn on the list directly, the references which pop up from time to time about other sources of info are invaluable and leads one to the sites fro information gathering. For example, I recently added 'Ask Dr. Lieberman' to my list membership and receive as much mail from that source as from the pienet. Anyway, I digress. I was wondering if there would be any sense in trying to mount an informational campaign, centered say on Neuro's offices, in an attempt to make more pwp aware of the list. Perhaps someone with PR skills could compose a flyer which we could download (for uniformity) and then with Neuro permission, leave a batch of them in waiting rooms or on bulletin boards for patients to pick up. Any merit? Any other ideas? Or should I shut up. Paul H. Lauer
