...I was surprised to see a photo of him in the NASA archives, which lists him as the 13 year old backup for Neil Armstrong.

Doesn’t sound as if he has Alzheimers. Sounds like ordinary amnesia. Wonder what happened to him?
Gabrielle Giffords voter, no doubt.
Mini-stroke?
Peyote? Datura?
Did you stop taking Lipitor?
***People really keep $600 in their socks?***
Makes you look taller :>)
Lighthart, 54, is a 1974 graduate of Sahuaro High School who also attended Pima Community College and the University of Arizona, according to Arizona Daily Star archives. He also attended New York's Culinary Institute of America in the mid-1970s, with the hopes of opening a French catering service in Tucson after graduating... Within hours of posting the story online, a reader identified Jon Doe as Lighthart, an English teacher he knew in China. The reader, David Akast, said Lighthart taught at English schools in China and "had an incredible knowledge of European cultural history." Another friend, Randall Snyder of Columbus, Ohio, said he knew Lighthart from the mid-1990s when they attended the Union Institute in Cincinnati together. He said Lighthart was a high-caliber chef in New York but left that profession following an accident... late 1990s... Lighthart... moved to Europe... Lighthart entered the U.S. in March 2008 from Calgary, Alberta. John Lucas, a spokesman at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, said Lighthart graduated in 1984 with a bachelor's degree in French. When he left with the University of Wisconsin, he gave them an address in Vienna, Austria, Lucas said... He is fluent in English, French and German and has a professorial knowledge of European cultural history. He remembered attending the Culinary Institute of America and being a chef.I first met him during a spelunking expedition in the Caverns of Agartha in 1982, and didn't see him again until 1995 when we both participated in a mountain climb up a live volcano in Antarctica. I haven't seen him since, but in 1997 I was surprised to see a photo of him in the NASA archives, which lists him as the 13 year old backup for Neil Armstrong.

The tongue, it was in the cheek.
...I knew that...but how did that $600 get into his sock? And how many people would sleep in a park with that much cash in their sock? And when will the book come out? There’s so much you’re not telling...

I’m considering this for the title: “Fugue States — Fugue-Getaboutit”.
What a strange, strange story.
Sounds like Forrest Gump.
