Re: June/Oprah/OT

Hi June,

At one time someone from our group did contact Kathy Lee Gifford after her

father died, but she replied that she was too busy with the Casidy House for

kids. She has a few things going that she does for kids. Maybe things have

changed and she is in a better place in her daily life, she may have been too

overwhelmed then with the death of her father and maybe she can handle it now.

It could be worth a try. 

I think contacted her. I can't really remember who, but maybe it was

. I remember there was a Kathy Lee Gifford Website and she had some

things on there about Lewy Body Dementia. might know.

Re: Oprah/OT

I heard on TV this morning that Oprah is losing lots of viewers/listeners/

magazine readers.  She alienated many white, older women when she endorsed

Obama, and I thought she was a little condescending to Barbara Walters when she

was on the show. 

What about Kathy Gifford in her new segement of the " Today " show, which comes on

later in the morning?  Her father had LBD, so perhaps she might do something.

Right now on " Today " they are interviewing sportscaster Jim Nance about the book

" Always by My Side, " which is about his father in the end stages of AD.  Sounds

as if it is a good book, which I might try to get from the library.

I didn't contact Kathy Lee Gifford but provided her name to the list

that I sent to the Oprah show as famous faces who have/had LBD (her

father, not her.) She does have a page for LBDA on her site - but the

address is wrong - I've emailed them time & time again, but noone

changes it. LBDA has contacted them too...

Donna thought the letter sent to Oprah should be tweaked for Dr.

Phil - could do that... wouldn't hurt... should also send a tweaked

letter to Reader's Digest... Any other suggestions?

PS - wanted to share that I made a Listmania on Amazon w/ Lewy

related books. So when you go into Amazon and just type 'lewy', on

the left the Listmania pops up. Cool.
