I heard from George McGovern.

I had left him an email note several months ago. He said to pass the information on to everyone else. He has contracted Parkinson Syndrome. He said he and his wife were adjusting but it isn’t easy.
I miss his photographs both the sunsets, but also the ones around his ranch. Sigh.

along with Shadow and KC. My father had Parkinson's and I know how brutal and sad the progression is. I hate that he and his wife are going though that painful ordeal.

I loved seeing pictures of those gorgeous sunsets, their beautiful property, and his hooved and 4-footed fur kids.

TY for sharing with us. Healing vibes on the way to he and his Mrs.

The wife of one of my best friends has Parkinson’s. She has some dementia from it and also has recently developed balance issues.

Peace to George and his family.

When you are in touch with George again, let him know we are thinking of him.

It would be great for him to see all the support here for him and his wife. He touched a lot of people.

Even over a short time, I/we got to know him as a warm-hearted, talented, and generous person.
