He has provided leadership and support to the early onset, early stage dementia movement. I have had a chance to listen to him on several occassions and I am always touched by his insight and courage. Hope you are well! Maureen Matthews Dear Anne,

At least for me, Rich and Jay's conference was proof that we're moving to a more open and positive view of all kinds of memory loss. By the way, there is one more group working to improve quality of life for people with dementia - forMemory (http://formemory.org/). Thanks for writing about this.

By the way, there is one more group working to improve quality of life for people with dementia – forMemory (http://formemory.org/).

Thanks for writing about this.
