Art, Thank you for offering to share the DAPS tape with all of us in the true spirit of giving...just before the holidays... Many thanks to DAPS for providing this gift. I liked your use of the word "prominent" ... "People with Parkinson's have prominence" might make an interesting T-shirt slogan. Joan U.

The tape tells about Parkinson's and what we at DAPS are doing to help Parkinsonians. I have arranged for us to receive a grant which will allow us to share this tape with several hundred prominent people in the Parkinson community and their support groups. Most of these prominent people are you, the people on this list. Within the limits of our grant we will gladly send at no cost a copy of this tape to all listmembers who ask for one.> CUT
