Ed, I hope you will be able to say something to the author of the cartoon Crankshaft. I want to let him know that his recent story line is not funny to people who have parents in a nursing home who have gone through dementia, Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. It is hurtful. Maybe if he had ever experienced the situation he would know what pain and hardship he is causing people.
