Charles Edwards (Col ’69 CM) published a book on aging, Much Abides: A Survival Guide for Aging Lives. He was a cardiovascular surgeon in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina, for 29 years. After both of his parents died from dementia, he sought training at Johns Hopkins in dementia and returned to Charlotte to open a nonprofit center dedicated to the care of patients and families struggling with memory loss. His late-life experience with these patients and families inspired this book, which focuses on living the last years of your life with passion and purpose. It’s available at www.mmclt.org and on Amazon. Sales will support Memory & Movement Charlotte.
