    The Santa Tracker tradition started with this Sears ad, which instructed children to call Santa on what turned out to be a secret military hotline. Kids today can call 1-877 HI-NORAD (1-877-446-6723) to talk to NORAD staff about Santa's exact location.

    StoryCorps and Memory Loss

    Jun 23, 2010

    StoryCorps is a radio program that travels the country, allowing two people to sit down and interview each other. A few weeks ago, Storycorps visited Las Vegas to interview people at memory loss facilities. They sat down with people with Alzheimer's or dementia and their family members and asked them to share their stories. We'll be playing some of those interviews over the next two weeks. And we'll also have a special show on Tuesday where we talk about memory loss and how it affects people and their loved ones. Do you know someone with Alzheimer's or dementia? How has it changed their lives? How has it changed yours?
