    Has anyone else noticed, as I have, two recent public mentions of
our disease?

    First, last Sunday during the Colts-Raiders game, one of the
announcers mentioned that Rich Gannon (do I have the name right?) has
become a spokesperson for celiac disease and is very active, inspired by
his daughter who was very sick until being diagnosed.  He didn't have
all information correct but was pretty close.

    Second, I recently subscribed to the Mayo Clinic Health Letter, and
the October 2000 issue, which just arrived, lists four topics as "coming
in November":  the fourth is "Celiac Disease.  How to manage gluten
intolerance."  Maybe there is some increase in public awareness!  Cheers-
