ask for literature about the small town where she lived so he could reminisce with her." Scott relishes the memories of her mom singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" with a group of other residents who lived in the "Delmarva" house of the assisted living wing. They called themselves the "Delmarva Devils." And she is grateful for her memory of the time she arrived for a visit to find char Aggie's crocheted creations had been placed on temporary exhibit. "Mom was just aglow," she recalls. The 55-year-old still marvels at the mysterious ways of the disease, how it destroys so ~nuc:h of a person but allows occasional glimpses to peek through. There was a woman In her mother's honse who played the piano beautifully but 10 minutes Inter had no recollection of having played. And a man who said little but could deliver n stirring grace upon request at family-style meals. "It's fascinating to watch these folks or a church service," says Baker. "\Ve have people who don't speak or interact, who when they go to church will sing the hymns, say the prayers, take communion, but never say another word outside of that." I Starting at age 50, everyone begins to have nn occasional "senior moment." You can't remember so-and-so's nall1~ when you meet her on the street. Then, after you say goodbye, you suddenly realize, "Oh, yes, that was Jane." Or there's a word 011 the edge of your memory that you just can't find. of experiences are normal," "Those kinds Baker S,lYS. "Not remembering somebodys name is embarrassing, but it's not functionally impairing. But if you can't remember how to get home from the store, even though you've gone home from the store hundreds of tunes before, that's a problem. Not being able to remember that you can't k~ep threeweek-old milk in the fridge or a phone number of someone you call all the time-those are problems." u Acnlally, he points out, people who nre in the early stages of Alzheimer's commonly are not aware of their own memory deficits." .. , ..

There's also a tw~-week Short Stay Evaluation program that provides a comprehensive evaluarion of the resIdent's physical, mental and emotional condition. Kimble wonders if she has done herself a disservice by exercising end caring right :111 . these years. The longer she lives, the more likely she is to develop Alzheimer's, and her fisk IS already increased because her father had it. , "\Ve joke about ir a lot in my family-you have to," says Kimble. "I rold my son one day, T ~on't want you in the bathroom with me. want to be ill a facility where C;l11 get my T n~ils done and my hair done and you can come see me.' "He said, '\-\lhat makes you think you're going to an expensive place like COpper Ridge'" The costs associated with optimum care are indeed high. Residents in the assisted living wing pay, out of pocket or with long-term insurance, between $162-246 per day. In the comprehensive care wing, where much more hands-on care is needed, the doilv rate is $277. An, while only a small number of comprehensive care residents receive any funding fr0111Medicare, about half of ~e residents in the comprehensive Care area have their care paid for by Medicaid. The Institute's research is funded by grants and private gifts. Joking aside, Kimble says the most valuable lesson ~hc lean-ed from dealing with her parents' dementia IS that she wants to do things differently if she should fall victim to Alzheimer's, "I want it to be OUt in the open. I want it to be "Our philosophy is that of an active treatment model in which we honor what's left instead of what's lost."

I'm finally realizing this is rcallvdefinircly what I want to do.' • Every summer and Jan Term, rve been in the lab. I was just at the National Cancer Institute at Fort Detrick in Frederick working with a drug for gJStrointestinal cancer. They're in the process of trying to patent this drug because preliminary studies show it could be one of the most potent gastrointestinal cancer drugs that is out there. • Nuclear Magnelic Resonance (NMRlisthefoundationofmy project. The compound I worked with has two large aromatic pi-conjugated ring ~l'srellls connected by a Hexiblc linker. I useda rwo-dirnensional NMR technique to tly and distinguish the binding of these tWO ring systems to a segment of DNA. • Chemistry is a whole new language. When you're immersed in this world, spouting out ~I! these terms, you don't even re~llize th'lt Illost people don't t~lk that way. Tll'ing to explain the lingo is almost an infinite regression because you say one thing and then you think, Oh wait, they don't know • rve been aeceptedto graduate programs at Columbia University, Yale University, Johns Hopkins, University of Pennsylvania and University of Delaware. I also applied to Harvard and IvllT, but haven't heard from them yet. • SarahVannoy'04andi are actually getting married here July 31 in Little Baker. She's also a chemistry major and she was accepted to Yale, University of Pennsylvania, University of Delaware and johns Hopkins, so far. • The first letter was from Valeluckily we both heard the same day. • Fortunately, with chemistry. the programs aclually do tuition reimbursement, so we won't have to pay any tuition. And we get about $20,000 to $25,000 stipends at all the places. It's really exciting. Between the tWO of us, it comes up to about $50,000 a year we'll be paid to go to school. It's amning. .Mymom is like, I can't believe I know someone who's gotten into Yale and irs myson. • My research director at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Dr. Christopherfdichej(b,reaHy wants me to go to Harvard. When ! told him I'd gotten into Yale, he said, you shouldn't go there, you're roo good for Yale. • Idon't know why people have such faith in mesometilllCs. To have someone say those ~nds of things to you, it's just like, what are you talking about \Vhat do you mean I'm too good for V,lle • Philosophy is a field that really appeals to me, I guess because there really isn't one right answer. I'm taking lllr third philosophy course now, which is contemporary philosophy . There are a lot of parallels between the way you think in science and the way you think in philosophy. You can keep learning more and more. but you're never- going to really know everything. .We keep asking, why Why Why are positive charges attracted to negatives, and vice versa Dr. Richard Smith in org~ni(.· chemistry finally says, because God made it that way. • Sarah and I cook and eat dinner together every night. She lives in ,1 Garden Apartment that's right across from mine. vVe're so busy during the day, we ny to spend 'IS much time together as possible like that. • I have one book, I·Vhlll Eim"trill Told His Cook: Kitdum Science Explained. It rells nll sorts of little pieces of information, such as why peste sauce turns from green to brown so quickly. It nil relates back to simple biochemistry, with enzymes that the author calls "browning elll;Yllles."¥ou can actually create inhibitors to tryand prevent your pesro sauce from browning. .Iwouldliketocomebackhere to teach. I have so much of ,1 connection here, it feels almost disloyal to put Illy heart into another institution, 1 want to do whatever I C'111 for this school. One of Illy goals is to be on the board of trustees. .Tobe called Dr. Lipchockwill be an adjustment. Butithasa nice nng to It. what that means, so you try to expbinthntcrm,anclitjust goes on and on Senior James Lipchock plays the mad scientiSI inthe chemistry lab w~ere he fel~ crazy in love with classmate Sarah Vannoy. The coupie will marry thIS summer, then begin graduate work at one of several presligious graduale schools that have aceepted them both. 22·M'DA~IH CDllEQE
