This year’s Keynote Speaker during the Thursday Opening Session is Dave Iverson, author of “Winter Stars…An elderly mother, an aging son and life’s final journey.” Dave Iverson is a writer, documentary film producer/director, and retired broadcast journalist. Dave was a busy broadcast journalist who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease when he decided to do something he’d never quite imagined: He moved in to take care of his 95-year-old mother. “Winter Stars” is the moving story of Dave Iverson and his mother Adelaide and their decade-long caregiving odyssey, which lasted until Adelaide Iverson’s death at the age of 105. All royalties from the sale of Winter Stars go to support: The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research; Dance for PD; and Avenidas, a San Francisco Bay Area organization providing caregiver support.
