Ken: Several years ago some inspired professor at, I think, a medical school, had the med. students do an exercise for one day that helped them understand how it felt to be elderly -- had them go through card catalog (pre-computers!) at the library while wearing gloves, for example. I think there may have been some use of wheelchairs and canes, also. Perhaps one of our terrific librarians could find the article. This wouldn't take the place of the virtual PD program, but would help people understand how it can feel to have a tremor, stiffness, etc. Delda White CG Bob 1.5/1
