Gordon. I'm not sure if you were on the boards when I went to visit my mom this last spring. I went to see my cousin who lives in a group home for mentally ill people. The last time I went to see him he remembered me. This last time he didn't have a clue who I was. But we did go in town for lunch. He really enjoyed just being able to go for the ride and let the wind blow in his face. It's very hard to talk to someone who doesn't know who you are. We had such a lot of fun when we were kids. He was at a party back in the mid 1970's, and someone slipped horse tranquilizer in his drink. He's never been the same again. And he's getting worse with age. He doesn't even know his mom. I promised him I'd be back next June.
