I grew up watching Johnny as Mark in the Rifleman. We watched every show and have watched many reruns for decades.
I believe it was either 2019 or 2020 that Johnny was to be the main celebrity for the JOHN WAYNE BIRTHDAY celebration in Winterset, Iowa. I wanted to go, but didn't make it since it's memorial weekend it occurs each year.
If it was last year, all festivities have been canceled due to covid-19.
Now I read about his alzheimer's disease. My heart goes out to you all.
My sister-in-law, Cheryl, was only 40, when she died from early onset Alzheimer's disease!! She had it between 8-14 yrs.
My husband's 2 brain autopsies showed the following:
.. Lewy body dementia causing his visual/violent hallucinations like Robin Williams had;
.. neuro borreliosis/chronic LYME/tick disease;
** these 2 alone made his brain worldwide history being the 1st with these 2 diseases. he was supposed to be written up in a scientific medical journey with ME as the 1st author of this case study.
* also found a cluster of 24 filarial nematode parasitic worms having LYME inside of them.
* pathologist did NOT publish this as promised to me.
*2nd autopsy showed:
* lyme disease and
* bartonella aka cat scratch disease, 2 species.
* she didn't publish this as promised to me either.
Best wishes to you 3 as you go thru this. Have a camera video or tape recorder handy to record the stories Johnny will tell you about as his mind goes back to his early years of life. Stories you will have never heard before.
My heart goes out to each of you now and in the days, months, and years ahead.... Collapse
