Lisa: Thanks to the Southland Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, Val Zavala from KCET TV and her crew were at our house today to interview Gary and I for a segment that will address some important new research that is still in trial stages. According to Dr Keith Black this research could possibly lead to early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease. Our discussion with Val today covered topics such as "How would earlier detection of this disease have changed your lives?" The news feature on KCET is scheduled to air on May 14th and may be released on the their website sooner. Stay tuned!

It's always such an honor for Gary and I to share our story because we know that we are not alone and others are out there struggling with the confusion of what is happening to their lives.  As we both told Val Zavala in the interview, our journey is divided into two parts:  Prediagnosis and post diagnosis. As much as it is difficult to know that Gary has Alzheimer's, at least now we know why Gary was struggling and we can be open about it. The "not knowing" was so much harder.
