Henry Musoke Sendaula was professor and associate dean of research at Temple University in Pennsylvania.A researcher at heart and by profession, Henry Musoke Sendaula immediately began planning his future after being diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease at 62.

He had just retired from Temple University in Pennsylvania, anticipating a life of travel with his wife, and although the couple were able to make a long-anticipated road trip to Alaska, his condition deteriorated quickly.

"He did the research, deciding what we would do as the disease progressed," his wife, Linda Freeman Sendaula, said. "He made me promise … that at the right time, I would find a facility for him, not kill myself being a caregiver."

Linda Sendaula considers that a gift from her husband.

Knowing that her husband had fond memories of a childhood spent on his family's farm and that Alzheimer's patients retain childhood memories the longest, she "found a facility … that is a mini-farm, with all kinds of animals," Linda Sendaula said. "He loved it."

"But this I know, UPC believed and still believes in

very high education. We can call Obote all bad names we have, but the bottom line remains that he got more scholarships for Buganda than all previous Uganda leaders combined. That includes Sir Edward Mutesa, President Lule, President Binayisa, up to and into Ssabasajja Mutebi. Who all happen to be Baganda leaders." Mulindwa
