Dear Mrs. Schmidt:

Yes, this list can be very helpful but please don't forget to contact each
of the three national organizations for PD (Parkinson's Disease Foundation,
American Parkinson's Disease Association and the National Parkinson's
Foundation) - we all publish educational materials on all aspects of the
disorder.  Also, have you thought about joining a local support group for
PWPs and their families?  These can be very helpful as well.
