THE EVENT
Capital Area Chapter hosted its annual gala to raise the profi le of this debilitating disease and promote advances in Alzheimer's research.

THE SCENE
Frazier sidekick David Hyde Pierce, an Alzheimer's advocate, hasn't forgotten that his father and grandfather suff ered from the disease, nor does he dwell on it. "Every time I forget something I think this must be it, although I mainly focus on fi nding a cure," Pierce said. He was joined at the podium by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chris Matthews, whose mother died from the disease. Guests also viewed "Voice Prints," a short fi lm in which Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV described his mother's bout with the disease.

THE GUESTS
Chairwoman Trish Vandenburg and her husband George, Dr. Susan Blumenthal, Mario Morino, Cynthia Howar, Maggie Shannon, Bob Keefe, Katherine Wood, Meryl Comer and Dianne Kay.
