On March 22 at Hycroft Mansion, History of Nursing members and guests enjoyed a memorable and sensitive performance of a lyrical memoir titled Mind and Memory: You say Goodbye, I Say Hello. Actors Cathie Borrie (daughter) and Patti Allen (mother), portrayed the “spiritual, emotional and intellectual revelations made possible by a mind transformed by Alzheimer’s”.
Delicious refreshments & silent auction were enjoyed by all.
Cathie Borrie is the author of the book “The Long Hello” available at: www.cathieborrie.com
