David Goldberg (Goldberg)
As many of you know our classmate Robert (Rob) Feldman passed away in July. Rob suffered from Alzheimer's, and in his memory his wife Ellyn and their two children Jeb and Abby have decided to establish the "Dr. Robert A. Feldman Alzheimer's Research Fund" in Rob's memory at Washington University School of Medicine, where Rob did part of his surgical training. Washington University's has a top-ranked Alzheimer's research group. The fund will be used to investigate an emerging area of scientific study, the impact of sleep patterns on Alzheimer's disease, a key to transforming Alzheimer's from unstoppable to preventable.
For those of you who are interested in learning more about this latest research, there will be a zoom session on Oct. 21 with members of the medical faculty at Washington University. I also hope that you will consider joining this tribute to Rob by making a gift in his name to this all-important venture. The virtual Zoom presentation will be October 21st, 4pm MT, 5pmCT, 6pm ET, https://wustl-hipaa.zoom.us/j/92612597282?pwd=eXpSTW1rT2hkc29LWW0va1hKOFZXQT09#success
