John,
This is from the granddaughter of Frisbie Carpenter. We have talked.
I have Muscular Dystrophy, as well as my Mother Emily Carpenter McDade and my
brother. It is Limb Girdle. It is unusual only because all of us are getting
it.
Here is a test I would like you to try, and let me know the results.

It is the walk you have to do if a policeman stops you and wants to know if
you are drunk. One foot in front of the other. See if you can still do it,
and do not feel as if you are going to fall.

It would help me, help the MDA in their research. They want my son (39)
tested. He said no problem until he tried it. Very shaky.
Thank you Chloe Dare Chandler
