Your editorial "Hope for Alzheimer's patients" (Jan. 22) gave me hope for the future of older individuals. I buried a dear friend, my mother and my husband, who all suffered with the disease. How different so many lives would have been had there been earlier detection and more treatment or prevention. Thank you for making us aware of the early testing techniques available now and the possibility of additional treatment and prevention in the not-too-distant future. I won't worry quite so much now when I can't remember a name or what I went into the next room for. Please continue to keep the public apprised of the legislative and research activities concerning Alzheimer's.
