Our speaker at the DAPS January General

Membership Meeting greeted us with one of

his most-quoted lines: “Now come on boys…

I don’t hear no singin’!” Of course I am

speaking of Burton Gilliam, well-known for

his roles as Lyle in the movie Blazing

Saddles and Floyd in Paper Moon.

Burton was born and raised in Dallas, Texas,

and graduated from Woodrow Wilson High

School. After high school, he worked as a

firefighter for the Dallas Fire Department for

14 years. While working there in June, 1972,

he saw an article in the Dallas newspaper

that said a crew was coming to Dallas to

audition extras for the movie Paper Moon.

He figured, why not give it a shot? When he got to the hotel where the auditions

were being held, there were so many people there that he almost didn’t find a

parking space and very nearly just went home.

However, he did go in, and the casting director liked him so much, he

scheduled him for another audition with the movie’s director, Peter

Bogdanovich. That meeting led to Burton being cast not as an extra, but as

one of the film’s more memorable characters, Floyd the desk clerk.

After Paper Moon, Burton went back to his job at the fire department in Dallas.

A few months later, he answered the phone at the station—“Fire Station #39,

Gilliam speaking!”—and heard, “This is Mel Brooks calling from Hollywood.

I liked you in Paper Moon, and I’d like to talk to you about a movie I’m making.”

Burton’s response? He hung up the phone, thinking it was a fellow fireman

prank calling. Of course, Mel called back, and after much cajoling, he and

Richard Pryor (a writer for the movie) were able to convince Burton to act the

part of Lyle in Blazing Saddles.

Not long after that, Burton moved to California, where he met his wife-to-be.

FEBRUARY SPEAKER BIO:

Ed Foreman

From a farm boy to a self-made millionaire

by the age of 26 and a former United

States Congressman from two different

states, Texas and New Mexico, Ed

Foreman is not a "reporter." He has lived

his message of health, wealth and

happiness that is helping business leaders

from around the world get more meaningful

living out of life, reduce their levels of stress

and anxiety, turn worry into success and

have more fun!

A dynamic business entrepreneur and

active civic leader, Ed has developed

numerous programs and products and

persuasively "sells" the success formula

he lives by.

Ed Foreman holds the Council of Peers Award for Excellence (CPAE), the

highest honor bestowed by the National Speakers Association, held by fewer

than 100 people worldwide. He is also one of only eight people to receive the

Distinguished Faculty Award of the Institute For Management Studies. Ed has

been featured in hundreds of magazines and newspaper articles, including

"Portrait of Ed Foreman"

in Dallas Magazine.

Born on a farm in New

Mexico, he is a civil

engineering graduate of

New Mexico State

University, a motorcycle,

sports car and hot air

balloon enthusiast, an

outdoor adventurer, and

an international traveler.

Named one of the Ten

Outstanding Young Men

In America by the U. S.

Jaycees in 1964, Ed

Foreman has been

a leader in executive development programs since 1960. He is a board

member, officer or major stockholder of a dozen successful corporations. He

is co-founder, with Earlene Vining, and President of Executive Development

Systems of Dallas, Texas.

Ed Foreman travels 200,000 miles a year with partner Earlene Vining, sharing

his renowned message of "Successful Daily Living" with corporate executives

around the world. Few speakers, if any, are better qualified to motivate, inspire

and educate by their own example than Ed Foreman!

Learn more at his website, EdForeman.com. Ed’s presentation for DAPS will be

a fun and positive message about healthy choices, laughter, and perseverance.

You won’t want to miss it!

At 82 years young, Ed still takes cross-country

trips on his big, yellow Honda Goldwing trike!

Meet Marilyn Goldfinger and her husband, Joel. They are

the DAPS facilitators at Custer Road United Methodist

Church, in Plano. Marilyn is a baker’s delight! I don’t have

the words to describe her carrot

cake. You have to taste a slice to

understand how great the cake

and other baked goods are from

Marilyn’s kitchen!

Marilyn’s father and uncle both

had Parkinson’s disease for

20 years. Marilyn joined DAPS

when she was first diagnosed

with Parkinson’s in January, 2001. Joel was a little more

hesitant and joined the DAPS@Custer Road (Plano)

group about a year later. Since then, Joel has become

an avid supporter of the group. Marilyn and Joel assisted

Jack Brown with his DAPS facilitator duties there for a few

years, then took over as facilitators in 2011.

“Being a part of DAPS provides constant support and

friendship. If a DAPS member inquired with us about being

a volunteer for DAPS, we’d say what a very rewarding

experience it is to volunteer.”

Marilyn and Joel believe one should go with the flow, do

your exercises, and do your speech exercises. Even with

all the effort and money being spent, a cure remains in the

distant future. However, exercise makes a difference now.

Both Marilyn and Joel are retired. Joel was a haberdasher

in Greenville, Texas, and Marilyn was an elementary school

teacher in Dallas. They enjoy reading, traveling, and

watching TV. Joel is currently taking

an online French class.

Joel and Marilyn have been married

for 52 years. They have four children

and three grandchildren. They feel

fortunate to have two of their kids

living in Plano.

On November 25, 2014, Marilyn had

DBS surgery. Although she had

complications at the time, she feels it was the best thing she

could do for herself and she would recommend it to anyone

who qualifies for the surgery.

by Fred Ransdell

Marilyn & Joel

Goldfinger

“The DAPS connection has allowed us

to remain current on recent treatments.

Sharing information with our group and

others is one of the most important

functions we have!”

Marilyn Goldfinger

Picante Sauce “Git a rope” commercial man, and the

Rodeo Ford commercial guy.

While living in Hollywood, Burton found that some years

would be great, with lots of parts offered, while other

times months would go by without any work. This led to

lots of self-doubt. However, Burton eventually learned

from fellow actors how to set goals in order to manage

the ups and downs of the acting life. Burton then

developed his own school of thought on how to live a

successful life:

If you don’t work hard and you don’t set goals, you

are “living life as a failure.”

If you work hard, but don’t have goals, you are “living

life as an accident.” Some people can become

successful this way, but most don’t.

If you work hard and set goals, you are “living life as

a success.”

At 77 years old, Burton still sets goals. Goals don’t have

to be long-ranging; they can be for the next hour, the

next day or the next week. Set your goals, and do your

best to achieve them, and you will be a success!

How do I get started with home health care, and

what questions should I be asking?

Home health care is always initiated by an ordering

physician. In Texas, only a licensed doctor may

prescribe home health care, and that doctor must sign off

on the suggested plan of care.

There are over 500 home health care companies in the

Dallas area alone. To help you narrow the field, the

doctor’s office may provide you with a list of companies

they have worked with in the past. But it is up to you to

make a choice.

When choosing a home health care company, here are

some questions you should ask:

How long have you been in business?

How do you handle after-hours clinical emergencies?

How experienced is the clinical staff (RN, therapist,

social worker)?

Can you provide me with the website that gives the

agency a report card on how you manage pain,

wounds, and all aspects of medication?

Any reputable home health care agency will openly

answer all of your questions.

Once you have chosen a company, what can you expect?

Respect

Plan of care explained up front

Who will be coming and how often

Overall goal of care

When discharge can be expected

These are just a few points to consider in your quest for

a reputable home health care provider. More detailed

information can be found at www.dads.state.tx.us.

Dance for PD® with Dallas Museum

of Art Jackson Pollock: Blind Spots

Collaboration Project 2015 - 2016

We are pleased to announce the culmination of an

artistic collaboration between Dance for PD® with Dallas

Museum of Art in a 2:00 pm performance at the DMA

on February 19th, 2016. The performance is free to

the public and will feature members of the local Dance for

PD/Movement Disorders classes.

Over the past four months of collaborative art and dance

classes at the DMA, members of the local Dance for

PD/Movement Disorders classes have been immersed in

a pilot program including gallery discussions followed by

interactive dance and movement. This pilot program was

facilitated by Amanda Blake, the DMA Interim Director of

Education, Head of Family, Access and School

Experiences, and Misty Owens, a Dance for PD founding

teacher at the Mark Morris Dance Group who has been

teaching the specialized classes since 2003 in Brooklyn,

NY, and locally throughout the Dallas metroplex since 2011.

The Dance for PD program is a collaboration between the

Mark Morris Dance Group and the Brooklyn Parkinson

Group which is celebrating its 15th anniversary next year

and offers specialized dance classes to people with

Parkinson’s. Dance for PD classes engage the participants’

minds and bodies, and create an enjoyable, social

environment that emphasizes dancing rather than therapy.

Active demonstration by professionally trained dancers

inspires participants to recapture grace, while guided

improvisation fosters creativity and experimentation with

movement. For more information, contact

[email protected].

The February 19th performance will include an excerpt of

a dance titled Falling Down Stairs from The Bourrée Project,

featuring movement from one of Mark Morris’ most

distinctive works. Falling Down Stairs was created as part

of the Inspired by Bach series that cellist Yo-Yo Ma made

for Sony Classical.

Also in the performance will be the premier of an original

piece of choreography by Misty Owens inspired by the

Jackson Pollock: Blind Spots exhibition, the main focus of

the Dance for PD with Dallas Museum of Art collaboration.

This will be the first time members of the local Dance for PD

classes have performed in a public setting. Before the

performance, audience members are encouraged to visit

the Jackson Pollock: Blind Spots “once in a lifetime”

exhibition, organized by the DMA’s Hoffman Family Senior

Curator of Contemporary Art Gavin Delahunty—the largest

survey of Jackson Pollock’s black paintings ever

assembled.

You will find more detailed information on the DMA website.

Coming Back for Seconds

The holidays are behind us, and I must admit that I went

back for seconds far more than I should have, from

Thanksgiving all the way through New Year’s Day. But as

soon as the National Holiday known as Super Bowl Sunday

is past, I am swearing off seconds.

However, there is one “seconds” that I am excited about.

I am talking about my second year with DAPS. The first

year has gone by very quickly, and together we have seen

and experienced many wonderful—and sometimes

challenging—things.

This first year has been a year of…

getting to know many of you.

getting out into the community to meet current friends

of DAPS and to make new friends.

raising the bar for our two main fundraising events.

expanding with two new locations and adding

much-needed programs in existing locations.

As we begin my second year as your Executive Director,

my goal is that we focus on shoring up the work that DAPS

does in the Dallas area Parkinson’s community. One area

we need to focus on is increasing donations so we can

provide the best services possible.

Our work cannot be supported solely by your membership

donations. We’ve received major corporate donations and

smaller ones in support of our general membership meetings

and luncheons, but even those are not enough to fund all the

programs DAPS provides.

And so, I invite you to follow my lead this year as I increase

my support of DAPS. There will be many opportunities to

do that throughout the year. You could increase your

membership level from Family to Supporting, or Supporting

to Donor; help us reach our goals for the Non-Event and

North Texas Giving Day; become a DAPS GEM; or join the

Clarice and Brook Dougherty Legacy Circle. From time to

time, you may also want to surprise us with an unexpected

donation, perhaps in honor or in memory of another DAPS

member.

Please join me in keeping—or perhaps moving—DAPS

near the top of your list of worthy causes to support in 2016.

Looking forward to my seconds with DAPS,

Valentine’s Day in many ways sets the

tone for the whole month of February.

It is the time of year that so many

express their love for family, friends,

spouses, and sweethearts. It is

expected that $15.7 billion will be spent

in the United States on Valentine’s Day

cards, flowers, and gifts this year. In

this month’s DAPS Newsletter, we have

included a DAPS Donation Envelope.

As you honor those that you love during

this month we hope that you will

consider a gift in expression of your

love and appreciation for DAPS or

perhaps in honor of your exercise group

leader, speech group leader, support

group leader, or the DAPS facilitator at

the location where you participate. You

may use the donation envelope or go

on line at www.daps.us to make a

donation. Your gift will help DAPS

continue to impact and improve the

lives of those affected by Parkinson’s

disease.
