"The Alzheimer’s Aid Society is one of the oldest and largest Alzheimer groups in the United States, founded in March 1981."

"Bea Gorman was very persistent in searching for help. You have a choice when something terrible happens to you. One choice is to channel it into something productive. Bea is one of that breed. She was a force in supporting medical research and in making something happen!" ~Dr. Cook-Deegan, Duke University
