Diagnosis: Alzheimer’s Disease Hallman fighting for his life

    In his 8th year as mayor Harry Hallman is longer struggling with cell phones and remote controls.  His wife Brooke says relief came after months of frustration and many sets of car keys.  She says she asked him “"do you realize you lost 7 sets of keys? He said well a guy can’t be locked out of his car!“
  Eventually a brain scan revealed a grim reality.  He has Alzheimer’s Disease.  There is no cure, no treatment and no therapy.  As the brain shrinks the symptoms worsen. 
  Mayor Hallman admits people around him noticed changes in his behavior. 
  According to the Alzheimer’s Association the disease changes the entire brain, nerves and tissue die and the brain shrinks dramatically.
  Everything a person says, thinks or does is affected. 
  Mayor Hallman was reduced his work schedule by 2 to 3 hours each day.
  The former Congressman says he will serve through the end of his term which is November 2009.
