- I recently had the great pleasure of speaking at the 11th Conference on
- Aging sponsored by the Cambria-Somerset Council for Education of Health
- Professionals. My topics included "Patient Education" and "Caring for the
- Care giver", and included many perspectives of these problems that you, my
- readers, have taught me. Some of the subject matter was based upon my own
- experiences, both as a physician, and as a son of two living parents.
- Though I was aware of the statistics, I was amazed at how many lives have
- been touched by the tragedy of Alzheimer's Disease. After the presentation, I
- was approached by one person after another, who shared intimate and personal
- experiences about coping with this disease that robs the mental abilities and
- treasured memories from loved ones. I know that many of you need more
- information, and so am calling once again, on my friends at The Will Rogers
- Institute. They will be happy to send you a most informative and easy to
- understand brochure "About Alzheimer's Disease". Just forward your request
- to: Alzheimer Booklet, The Will Rogers Institute, 785 Mamaroneck Ave. White
- Plains, NY 10605. It is a booklet that can help families who need this
- information, an will help overcome some of the feelings of desperation that we
- all share.
