Re: My On Thing/Book

[Carole Hercun <grinchcsh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Joan: I do not in any way mean to diminish the topic of
coping with PD, but I am a Parkie with a short attention
span and am easily distracted, SO as I was reading your
post and going, -uhmm-agree with that, when I came to the
part about the NYC Unity Walk and your book publicity tour,
I was intrigued. For those of us who will be in the city
that day, could you be more specific about where you'll be,
if any events are open to the public, etc. etc.
               Thanks, Carole
