RIP to a real one, Dorf was a staple of every over-65-who'd-learned-how-to-work-the-video-recorder's VHS collection in the late 80s/early 90s.

Honestly, I'd never heard of him until he was mentioned on this forum.

Neither had I and since my Inverse team is as fucked as yours by him, I wish I never had.

May not seem like much, but for me, it's a good collection. Especially for this early in the year.

Interesting article

 

Conway had suffered complications from Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), and showed no signs of Alzheimer’s or dementia.”

Just spitballin' here, because the information is very vague and sparse,  but perhaps the dr.s were suspecting NPH, normal pressure hydrocephalus.  It's a condition that mimics dementia, but can be fixed by draining cerebrospinal fluid.  Usually they will test the theory by drawing off some fluid with a spinal tap, and if the symptoms get better, they go to the next step of putting a shunt in the brain to continuously drain it off.  It's a reasonable thing to try especially if there is rapid onset of dementia with a progression that is much quicker than normal, but in the few instances I have seen it done it hasn't really helped because the person did indeed have dementia.  

Called it.
