Advice for Alzheimer's Patients - KCBD NewsChannel 11 Lubbock
Advice for Alzheimer's Patients  A Lubbock family was frantic
Wednesday afternoon when they told NewsChannel 11 that 77 year-
old Morris Elvin Cook had not been seen since 10:30 Tuesday
night. They told us "Curly" was showing signs of dementia, and
they were afraid he was lost somewhere and didn't know how to
get back home. Curly's wife of 55 years made this plea with her
daughter-in-law.  "Well, most everybody in Lubbock knows him and
they know him as the barber. He likes to go on with his
foolishness and all, but the person that walks up to him might
not think there's anything wrong with him. You have to live with
that to understand it," says Ruby Cook, Curly's wife.  "We
haven't seen him. If anybody out there sees him, please notify
NewsChannel 11," says Margaret Cook, Curly's daughter-in-law.
Ironically, it was a NewsChannel 11 photographer who found Curly
disoriented on the side of the road about 18 hours after he had
driven off. Albert Bele
