Hi, Pat - Had looked forward to seeing you at the PAN gathering and was remiss in not getting in touch with you when I didn't attend. PAN has accomplished such a great deal without the help and cooperation of the other organizations, haven't they?. It's been a hectic year - my husband has been treated for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and appears to be in remission now. Robert is on Sinamet and Requip and has been able to lower the Sinamet dosage just a little. I think that after these past months the anticipated hullabaloo about the millenium will prove to be greatly exaggerated. Hope that 2000 is good for you and your family.
