2. Yes and yes.

Early onset Alzheimers. He now has a new life partner. The story ended with the constitution of this new three person "family." It was very touching.

3. Jan and Barry

I saw this story. How courageous for him to share this personal tragedy. I remember hearing of him a lot, but her name was not so familiar, perhaps because of her illness. Who would even think of holding it against him for having found a woman who is willing to stand with him in these joys and sorrows.
