I didn't get to meet Glen Campbell but I did get to see his concert last night in Marksville, La. His Alzheimer's is prevalent but he handles it will humor and grace. His son, Shannon, and daughter, Ashley, lovingly helped him through the concert. He graciously met fans afterwards and spoke with each and every one as if they were old friends. (I could see him in the room greeting fans from where I stood.) I couldn't get his autograph but was given a pick with his signature. Yes, he forgets the words to the songs and, yes, he forgets guitar keys but you can still see and hear the icon that he is. I wouldn't have missed seeing him for the world. I got to see the epitome of a man with "True Grit".
