Two of the members of the last year's Early Stage Advisory Board are in a PBS show, The Retiremnt Revolution, to be aired next Tues the 15th at 9 eastern time. Be sure to check your local station. Not to bury it, but my station is airing it at midnight!

Mimi, I just received an email from the Alzheimer's Association pertaining to this. I did a search to see if it is on in my area, but I'm having trouble finding an exact channel and time on my satelite Direct TV. I did watch it online from the link you provided.

I'm assuming that is you in the video. Probably not exactly how you would like to become a celebrity on TV, but I want to say what a great job you did. You seemed very confident and not nervous at all.

I really appreciate all of you that are determined to get the word out and speak up for us that can't for whatever reasons.

I don't know if the Sheldons are on these forums, but they also did a great job.

I personally want to thank you for your courage and the link.

Best wishes on your perseverance, strength and courage to keep fighting for a cure.

Thanks Becky. I was hoping that more would be shown about what can happen with Early Diagnosis. One of the researchers did mention, but the segments of me showing what I'm capable of were not shown.

I reviewed this entire PBS documentary agaim. It seems to put my personal situation in the spot light. All members of the Baby Boomer generation should pay attention to this as well.
