[AnneKristine Osoffsky]

I find the term “Parkie” abhorrent. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2005. At the time, I was the Executive Assistant & Stock Plan Administrator to the CEO & CFO of WCN. WCN was self insured, & I was immediately terminated upon diagnosis. PD plays a minor role in my life. It is well controlled by Sinemet. My life is a thousand times more than Parkinson’s, & I will not define it, nor limit it, by being called “Parkie”, not now nor in 2005!
