I've asked my wife who worked for at least 32 years at a seniors home and tells me that she's seen more knowledgeable people who loved to read suffer from dementia and/or Alzheimer’s then the rest.<br /><br />I hear YA! But was that an officially conducted survey Victor? :)<br /><br />PeaceVictorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500112959496831193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-79504991727545860352014-02-26T22:09:19.316-05:002014-02-26T22:09:19.316-05:00Thank you both for stopping by. :)Thank you both for stopping by. :)Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-2063966653226606122014-02-26T07:33:58.050-05:002014-02-26T07:33:58.050-05:00Yay!
