This is the story of Pat Moffett, a 20-year-old street smart G.I. who went to Vietnam and came out alive. Among other things, Pat was embroiled with currency schemes, impersonating officers, dating bar girls, running secret mission for army brass, dragged into street fights, and rescuing orphans. And that's just for starters. No matter where you stand on Vietnam you can't help but to laugh out loud when reading Pat's stories.

EARLY ONSET ALZHEIMER'S:
It started with strange behavior'a hostile
outburst here, a peculiar lapse of memory there.
Then it became violent. The beautiful, vivacious
Carmen Moffett was behaving in ways her
husband Pat could not understand.
Their marriage had been a long love affair.
Together, they raised five beautiful children in
Great Neck, New York, and were looking
forward to planning their retirement together.
Then came the outbursts, both verbal and
physical, and the forgetting.
 |
CARMEN |
Confused and increasingly nervous, Pat
consulted doctors, but no one could find
anything physically wrong with Carmen. Worse
yet, she could not remember doing the things
that rattled Pat. Finally, several years later,
incidents at Carmen's work forced her to
another doctor, Gisele Wolf-Klein, who diagnosed
the devastating illness.
As she slipped away, Carmen reached out for
Pat. He was the one she could remember, even
if she did not always know exactly who he was.
With remarkable grace and an incredibly strong
will, Carmen accepted that she was fading, that
she would disappear. But through all of it, she
managed to reserve three words for Pat. These
three words exemplify the theme of their lives
together, to this day.
