PuzzlesToRemember wishes to thank the Chemistry Honor Students at the John D. O'Bryant School of Mathematics and Science, in Boston, for their contribution of puzzles for Alzheimer's patients. Your contribution was a very thoughtful and welcome gift. I will make sure the puzzles go to a facility where they can help many Alzheimer's patients.
