Hi Marjorie: Thanks for the reassurance!! The ad unnerved me!! I was afraid that everybody who read it would assume dementia goes with the territory and project it onto all of us. I suppose I should give non-Parkinsonians more credit and assume that they can judge for themselves (???). After reading the emails I realized that it's about as true for most of us as it is for the general population. Best, Liz S.
