A standing room only crowd filled Live Oak Hall Monday evening for Dr. John Kleckley’s lecture, “Dementia vs. Normal Aging: Which Is It?”. Presented by Respite Care Charleston, Dr. Kleckley’s talk outlined what dementia is, how it’s treated and how it can be prevented. Thanks to Seabrookers and Respite board members Mary Beth Dacey, Helen Bosshart and Barbara Measter for planning this event, and a special thanks to Barbara and Charles Measter for hosting the wine and cheese reception. Many a guest remarked that they had never seen Live Oak Hall so full!
