Memories are The Way Radio Was
Caregivers have glowing testimonies about how a radio show, a song, even a commercial or a jingle touched loved ones in a way that nothing else could. Not every memory from the Way Radio Was will strike a familiar chord, but many are the smiles that come when those with memory ailments hear the sounds of "Jack Armstrong, the All American Boy", Jimmy Stewart in The Six Shooter or The Adventures of Superman. [Reliving Radio provides no clinical proof, just the smiles of those who remember the Way Radio Was.]
