introduction

[Guest guest]

I have just joined and am thrilled to find such a large group

of you on-line as well as knowing this site is into finding out about

research trends, etc. I was in another group some years ago and it

did not work out for me. I am a person who thinks in the " future " and

also one who thinks creatively.

A bit about me, yes, I have CMT; diagnosed 1968 when I was 5. Had

some foot surgery as a young teen that has made a world of difference

in walking. I work for Direct Relief International and my job

sometimes takes me to under developed countries. I often spend most

of my time at medical clinics/sites/areas and have seen some of the

horrible effects of war as well as the effects of poverty. But it is

always the children who are so joyous no matter what, whether missing

a leg or walking with crutches. I have worked for DRI for years and

even still, I am touched by love from strangers. I'm a nurse by

academic training, but when I am on assignment, I know I am just part

of the plan to bring needed services. Because of my speciality areas

of study and language training, I am thinking of doing a 2 year

sabbatical to spend in the Peace Corp. My CMT is holding its own and

I feel I could manage. Is there anyone else who has spent time in the

PC?
