It still seems like they know little actually about it.


Some of the Veterans I helped at the Veterans' Hospital in Reno, Nevada had Alzheimer's. I volunteered for a year of Saturday afternoons there in 1978-1979. I was on the Long Term Care wing .
I didn't realize he lived back in the 1800's. I had an uncle back in the 1970's who probably had it. Back then I think it was just called senility.
