Carlen Maddux returns to "Across The County" to delve deeper into the story of "A Path Revealed".  With no blueprint or map, Carlen and Martha walked down a path that was at times dark (due to alzheimer's).  There were also sections of light, such as Martha's paintings.  There was a huge impact made, upon Martha joining an art class.  And those paintings, particularly her self-portrait hold quite a significance...even through today.    http://www.CarlenMaddux.com #APathRevealed (How Hope, Love, and Joy Found Us Deep in a Maze Called Alzheimer's) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carlen Maddux grew up in a small town in the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains in Tennessee. He left there at age 18 For Atlanta to take a full football scholarship at Georgia Tech, where he practiced a lot but didn't play. His roommate at Tech dated  Martha, Carlen's future wife. Carlen and his roommate then went to graduate business school at the University of North Carolina, which Martha also subsequently attended. Carlen's roommate ultimately married Martha's roommate at UNC. Life can get complicated. After vainly trying to become hippies before kids, Martha and Carlen lived in Santa Fe, NM, and in the Bayou country of Louisiana. They ultimately moved to Martha's hometown of St. Petersburg, FL when she was pregnant with their first child. Carlen cut his journalistic teeth at the nationally recognized St. Petersburg Times (now Tampa Bay Times) before starting his own regional business magazine covering the Tampa Bay area. That magazine published for 26 years until it was closed when Martha was deep into Alzheimer's. Martha meanwhile was active in local politics and civic activities. She served on the St. Petersburg City Council for six years in the mid-80s; that council made the controversial decision to build what's known today as Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team. She also ran for an open seat on the Florida state Legislature a year before she was diagnosed, which she (fortunately) lost by 25 votes. Martha and Carlen were happily and busily married for 25 years working in their designated fields and rearing three wonderful children when in 1997 she was suddenly diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease. She was 50, he was 52, and David, Rachel, and Kathryn were still in high school and college. The 17-year odyssey began. Martha died June 30, 2014.   Carlen has written about their 17-year experience through Alzheimer's in his book titled: A Path Revealed: How Hope, Love, and Joy Found Us Deep in a Maze Called Alzheimer's.

A Path Revealed by Carlen Maddux. Order your copy today by clicking on the book cover above! For nearly two decades, I have worried about my friend Carlen Maddux. Carlen published some of my best work as a journalist for more than 20 years as the man behind the Maddux Business Report, a long-running Tampa Bay area magazine. Through every editor he hired (and fired) and at least two recessions, my byline was a constant on his masthead and I have an armload of awards to prove it. In 1997, his wife Martha, a beloved political figure here in St. Petersburg, was diagnosed with early on-set Alzheimer’s Disease. She was just 50 years old and they had been married for 25 years. Their lives and those of their three children – as well as those of his employees – were never the same. CARLEN MADDUX podcast excerpt: "I was like a sponge. Anything that could help us... I wanted to get Martha out of this. Even though the medical community said they they had not been able to find anything (to cure or treat Alzheimer's Disease), I still was hopeful we would stumble across something." Martha Maddux, late wife of Carlen Maddux, is the subject of A Path Revealed: How Hope, Love, and Joy Found Us in a Maze Called Alzheimer's Let me put this in a little context: Martha—and her family—inexplicably lived with Alzheimer’s for the next 17 years. It was a hard, unrelenting, soul-sapping existence that no one should have to endure, whether as a victim or helpless family member or friend. In the pages of his first book, A Path Revealed: How Hope, Love, and Joy Found Us Deep in a Maze Called Alzheimer’s, Carlen takes readers with him on globe-spanning religious journey to make peace with having his beloved partner ripped from his embrace way, way too soon. CARLEN MADDUX podcast excerpt: "The majority of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's are over 65; my wife was 5o. When you talk about 'early onset,' that means somebody has been diagnosed with it under the age of 65... Our neurologist said (in 1997) that within 15 years there will be cocktail of medications that someone will take to stabilize and delay the onset of this. But as far as I can tell, research is no closer than it was in '97."
