"Parkinson Support" with Patsy Ponder Dalton
My sister-in-law, Patsy Dalton, continues to manage several Parkinson Support groups in Columbia, MO and at the Lake of the Ozarks following the passing of my brother David who lived with Parkinson's Disease the last 28 years of his life. We talk about history, the disease, and ongoing support.
David and Patsy Dalton married in 1984, each with two children. Good people. David had his own CPA business with Jim Marberry and Patsy was in marketing for Boone Hospital and the MU Med Center. She was elected Southern District Commissioner, dealt with some serious skin cancer, and produced Missouri Business Account, a weekly show on KOMU-TV, for over 6 years. When he was 44, David was diagnosed with Parkinson's. Much of our conversation concerns their commitment to creating and maintaining support groups and what that involves.
