Episode Four: Music and Memory

In this episode, host Wayne MacPhail interviews Brenda Hounam, a 58-year-old Paris, Ontario resident.

Six years ago, Brenda was the single parent of two children. She had to give up her career as an accountant when Alzheimer's struck.

Back then, she thought the disease would prevent her from experiencing the life events -- births, graduations, marriages -- that she had looked forward to. Wayne interviewed Brenda by phone a couple of weeks after her son's wife delivered Brenda's first grandchild.
