John, diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and Elizabeth, a retired Deputy Chief of the US Forest Service, open up about their experiences, challenges, and the strategies they have developed to navigate life with memory loss.


John brings a distinguished background in health services and public relations, having coordinated operations with the news media during the hospitalizations of President Harry S. Truman.
