Scarlet Fever

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Mark Catron, vice president of Wells Fargo Bank in Charlottesville, Virginia, outlined protocols concerning clients suffering from dementia. Banks are bound by a plethora of rules, but if a client is in denial there’s not but so much they can do.

April Fletcher, a foxhunter and lawyer, gave me blue chip advice, but then she always does, plus she makes me laugh.

Kathleen King, another lawyer and a former civil servant, also contributed to this novel with advice and facts, most of them dismal.

Mr. Michael G. Tillson III, MFH of Radnor Hunt, west of Philadelphia, gave me the phrase “Scarlet Fever,” along with a Tillson definition.

The “Divas” at Horse Country tolerated my questions, plus I threw them in this book. I assume they will still be talking to me. My thanks to: Marion Maggiolo, Roni Ellis, Suzann Strong, Jenny Young, Martha Kelley, Jean Roberts, and Courtney Nashwinter.

In one form or another, I fear, Reader, you will observe or care for someone suffering from senile dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Try to remember the afflicted person in their prime.
