Hi there.
A lovely word-restricted story describing how the insidious Alzheimer disease can attack even the great and powerful. You also describe a loving and dedicated Nancy.
Great stuff. I hope you do well in the contest.
Regards Pete.

Thank you so much, Pete, for your kind praise. I am so pleased my characterization of a ?loving and dedicated? Nancy came through. I so admired that woman and Barbara Bush.

Well, there's nothing to say this couldn't happened just like this. Even the train adds an element of nostalgia to this piece. In an odd way, this reminds me of the opening scene in John Ford's The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
Best of luck with the voters.

Peace, Lee

Thank you, Lee, for sharing my story. That movie is still one of my favorite westerns.
