[Dan Semko]

Folks,
Every once in a while I unintentionally insert my foot, knee deep into my mouth. In the spirit of Tom's thread and theme, I made a remark about "Parkinsons and the shakes" not knowing that my friend Tom has been afflicted with this disease. I would never do or say anything intentionally to hurt anyone's feeling especially about a physical malady and it is with deepest regret that I made that insensitive statement.
Tom, please accept my sincerest apologies and forgive my indiscretion. I am sorry that I hurt your feelings.

With regards,
Dan
