# Jan's Story Spotlights Younger-onset Alzheimer's
"In the 1980s, Jan Chorlton was a promising television reporter. She began to have memory lapses when she was 40 and was finally diagnosed with Alzheimer's five years ago, at 55. Her husband, CBS News correspondent Barry Petersen, has written Jan's Story: Love Lost to the Long Goodbye of Alzheimer's about their experience with the disease.
"Petersen is an award-winning TV journalist who has covered wars, the devastating Asian tsunami, the historic confrontation at Tiananmen Square and the unspeakable deaths in Rwanda. But as he writes in Jan's Story, he was not prepared for what happened to Jan.

Sunday Morning on CBS filmed a segment about Jan and Barry that is very well done. The 11-minute story is found at: www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6601253n&tag=related;photovideo
#My Name is Lisa --Award-Winning YouTube Video of Girl Dealing with Alzheimer's
Lisa is a moving portrayal of a young girl dealing with the oddities of her mother's failing memory, and her struggle to retain a sense of normalcy. Though the 6 1/2 minute film is fictional, the situations faced by the characters are very real, and, sadly, ever-closer to my own family's experiences. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiRHyzjb5SI
