About Me
I am a 60 year old man living in Montgomery County, Maryland. (My wife and care partner, Fancy, is helping me compose this and is entering the data because communication, especially electronically, is not my strong suit these days) I have Parkinon's disease and PD dementia. My careers were the practice of law and 6 terms (24 years) in the Maryland legislature but I was forced to retire from both at the end of 2006 due to my increasing disability. We spend our summers at our beach house on the Atlantic shore, so our life is as good as it can be right now.
