A Portrait of Joe Eades

"The Think Tank program has been a blessing to all of us. It has provided a place where people who have early Alzheimer's disease can bond together as they take classes from excellent leaders. In the process, we find that we have many things in common and we no longer feel alone. Early in the program I would see people across the table looking guarded and downcast. After several weeks, I saw smiles on many faces, which really touched me. In our group we don't feel the tyranny of the articulate. We realize that we still have a purpose in life and we can help others by reaching out and helping one another. We have seen a transition from being closed up to reaching out to each other and to those who do not have dementia. I have seen courage, humor and joy in our wonderful group, manifesting the image of our creator."
