    Description

    JoAnne Olian, former curator of the costume collection at the Museum of the City of New York, has selected scores of illustrations chronicling apparel worn during the casual, fun-loving postwar years. Here are one-piece, strapless bathing suits and dresses with plunging necklines for women; business suits with wide lapels–and equally wide ties–for men; bluejeans, plaid shirts, and full, knee-length skirts for girls; fringed cowboy outfits for youngsters of both genders, and much more. Fashion historians and fans of the fifties will delight in this collection, complete with prices ($1.88 for a silk tie!), sizes, descriptions, and more. Original selection of pages from Sears Catalogs, 1950-1959.


    Reminiscence Therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease

    Many people with progressive memory disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, are much more comfortable talking about memories long past than about things that happened recently. Because the area of the brain that stores memories long term is affected later in the disease’s progression, the affected person will remember more about her life when she was 40 years younger than she knows about what has happened this week. A person with Alzheimer’s disease, for example, might have a detailed and lucid conversation about something that happened after the war (World War II or the Korean War) than what he or she had for breakfast, or experienced at the theater the night before.

    A summary of existing data, including studies published in professional journals, and interviews with specialists, concluded that the general mood and cognition improved in subjects with dementia who participated in some form of reminiscence therapy. There is no doubt that reminiscing, no matter how it is done, can be beneficial

    Reminiscing and reminiscence therapy are powerful tools for the Alzheimer’s caregiver. Read more about reminiscing at our website.

    WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

    • Dear John and Holly, I’d like to work for you…seriously! I first heard about your business on the “Made in Chicago” segment on WBBM radio a few months back. I too, am interested in exactly the same thing you are, the quality of life for people with dementia. (…) Thank you though, so much for putting this site, and your products in one spot. And I am sooooo glad that Bernice has you! Janice
