I am a 15 year old playwright, and currently I'm writing a play about a man with alzheimer's disease. He is a distinguished gentleman who, in the beginning, has moderate to mild symptoms. He is found and befriended by a young adult and eventually is found by his family.

I have done research on the symptoms and causes of alzheimer's, but I'd like some more personal information. If anyone has any stories or ideas or anything that they view as important and touching for my play, I would greatly appreciate it.

This play is for the VSA Arts Playwright Discovery contest. I have won the state contest twice now, and, if this play wins, there is a possibility of it being performed. If it wins nationally, it will definitely be performed in Washington D.C.

Again, any comments or experiences or even websites would be helpful.
