Well, we met about 51 years ago. And one of my first jobs in radio, it was at a radio station in Ashtabula Ohio. A little town, maybe 10,000 people, starting off my career. And I always tell the story that we met in a revolving door and we've been going around ever since. But actually there's some truth to that because she opened the door to the studio and smashed right into my face, you know, and that's how I first saw her. And I fell in love with her the moment I saw her. I just thought she was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen in my life and thought she would never have anything to do with me. So I actually had to ask a friend to ask her out for me. I'm not sure if she thought she was going out with him or me, but that's how it started. We were married 50 years ago.

"COVID-19 has both direct and indirect effects on the brain health," said Dr. Jessica Langbaum from the Alzheimer's Prevention Registry. "We know that there's neurological symptoms, that people with dementia are more likely to develop COVID and die from COVID. This is really quite real. There's also those indirect effects that people are isolated, they're putting off medical appointments, they are not perhaps exercising, and eating, and all those things that we know are important to brain health."

Well, we met about 51 years ago. And one of my first jobs in radio, it was at a radio station in Ashtabula Ohio. A little town, maybe 10,000 people, starting off my career. And I always tell the story that we met in a revolving door and we've been going around ever since. But actually there's some truth to that because she opened the door to the studio and smashed right into my face, you know, and that's how I first saw her. And I fell in love with her the moment I saw her. I just thought she was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen in my life and thought she would never have anything to do with me. So I actually had to ask a friend to ask her out for me. I'm not sure if she thought she was going out with him or me, but that's how it started. We were married 50 years ago.

"COVID-19 has both direct and indirect effects on the brain health," said Dr. Jessica Langbaum from the Alzheimer's Prevention Registry. "We know that there's neurological symptoms, that people with dementia are more likely to develop COVID and die from COVID. This is really quite real. There's also those indirect effects that people are isolated, they're putting off medical appointments, they are not perhaps exercising, and eating, and all those things that we know are important to brain health."
