Thanks to Al Hirsch and DAPS for the DAPS produced tape "A STORY OF HOPE". I'm taking mine along to view when on a trip to DC beginning l/3/2000. Am thinking it might be a good idea to give the tape to Senator Bond when we meet in his office on 1/6/2000 along with my daughter and the health issues staffer who I've talked with on the phone regarding Parkinson's research funding as outlined in the Udall bill. I'm going on temporary list "NO MAIL" and will post when I return any pertinent information that I find about Parkinson's research at NIH, etc. I'm starting out Y2K being visible, vocal and positive about letting people know that people with Parkinson's need answers and we intend to keep asking that research be stepped up to find the causes/cure/treatments for neurological diseases. Best wishes for the new year, Jeanette Fuhr 49/47/44? ---------- From: Bernard Barber,Ph.D. <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: DAPS, " A STORY OF HOPE" Date: Tuesday, December 28, 1999 11:22 AM The folks in Dallas produced one of the finest informational and support type video tapes that I have viewed on People with Parkinson's. Jim West's skill in the proper measurement of the ingredients of medicine, human factors, empowerment, strength of character and personal courage, has and will do much to remove the "Disease Ghetto" of living with Parkinson's. As President of the Arizona Chapter of the National Parkinson Foundation, and on behalf of our members I wish to thank all of the DAPS folks for their contribution, and to Art Hirsch for his work in bringing this tape to our attention.
