One of my former newspaper coworkers is now a dental assistant, and Russell recently visited the office where she works (it's next door to the place he goes for physical therapy three times a week). She said he was very kind, but she also said he's battling Alzheimer's. I had no idea he's dealing with this. Has anyone else heard anything related to this?
