[Donna Dorros <ddorros@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm new to the list thanks to my kids who got me up and running as a
Christmas present!

Many of you will recognize the name of Sidney Dorros as you may have
read his classic book: Parkinson's: A Patient's View.  Sid died suddenly
and unexpectedly on 22 July 1993 from megacolon.  He would have loved
being on this list and I am sure he would have sent many messages.

In particular, he would have identified with all of you who have been
forced into early disability retirement.  It happened to him at age 48
but he decided to "take a lemon and make lemonade" by devoting the rest
of his life to helping others cope.  He did it well and was a great role
model.  Over our more than ten years of travelling and speaking to
support groups in the US, Canada, and England we may have met many of
you.  If so, I'd love to hear from you.  That goes for those of you we
have not met, as well.

All the best,

Donna Dorros, CG to Sid, 68/30 (dec.1993), Gaithersburg, MD
