On Wednesday Jan. 28th there is an Alzheimer's Awareness rally in Frankfort: Please support that cause. Help eliminate the losses that come to those families and individuals who must watch as memory by memory, skill by skill, and joy by joy a loved one slips slowly away. And if you can't go to Frankfort then just give a dollar or two to your local Alzheimer's Association.
