I really hope so. Parkinson's absolutely destroyed my grandfather. There was nothing he liked more than drawing. And he was really good at it, especially technical drawings. He was an aircraft inspector in WWII and I have the study notebooks he used. They're beautiful. So many wonderful illustrations of aircraft parts, tools and gauges, etc. But as an old man, he couldn't even hold a pencil. It was just so sad.

I'm sorry to read that. Let's hope for these kind of diseases to get a cure soon.
I just saw your post of the notebooks! Eradicating things like Parkinson's can't come soon enough.
This thread inspired me to post them.
They are absolutely beautiful and such a special thing to share. It helps remind us of all the work and passion that the people before us had that's often just lost and forgotten to history.
