As someone whose life has been transformed through the disease, it is now my purpose -- through the arts and theatre -- to help raise awareness and foster dignity and meaning for all of us on this road. And, of course, to find a cure.

Please enjoy this live and interactive discussion facilitated by Steve Gurney and Positive Aging Community, who have been leaders in finding resources and advocating for the care and dignity of seniors for 30 years. (Fun fact: Steven Gurney and my wife Susan first met when she was employed at one of the senior living facilities in our community. That was almost 15 years ago.)

It is possible to live a meaningful and productive life with Alzheimer's with community support and accommodation.​

Samuel A. Simon's book The Actual Dance, Love's Ultimate Journey Through Breast Cancer has just received a Bronze Medal in Biographical - Survival in the Global Book Awards! 

The Actual Dance is a love story with a happy ending told through the eyes and heart of a husband as he struggles with his worst fears in what everyone expects to be his wife’s losing battle to breast cancer.

The story takes the reader on an emotional but uplifting journey that rewards them with an unexpected happy ending, and a universal, life-affirming lesson of hope and faith.
