1957 - We would all have thought Bogus was senile and set him to a home

2009 - We now know it is just early onset Alzheimer's disease and there are medications available.
 
If you were not alive in 1957 (I was not) then your comment (like mine) is probably irrelevant.

You forgot the part where in 2009 he's locked up in a mental institution for evaluation for pending treating.
