NPR story of a painter with early on-set

May 25, 2009 by Anne Basting

A really lovely story on NPR’s All Things Considered today about a painter in NYC (Ken Rab) in his 50s and experiencing early on-set Alzheimer’s.  His partner Stuart Post has created a supportive, loving, challenging world for Ken – one in which his creativity can flourish.  It’s a quite a contrast to the HBO stories…positive and engaging, realistic, but not frightening.
