Thanks for the link.

Thanks, but is posting this here (instead of the general roses forum)reaching the audience where it could potentially do the most good?

Ann, my father bravely faught Parkinson's for 15 years. Diagnosed in his early 40's and they say it had something (probably) to do with pesticide exposure in his teens - they wer farmers in those days - they used arsnick for insects. After his death his younger brother has also been diagnosed with Parkinsons. Makes you think twice doesn't it.
