Former University of Denver chancellor Rebecca Chopp made significant life changes when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2019. Now, new tests indicate she may have been misdiagnosed. She shares her journey as she works to raise awareness about preventing cognitive decline and new testing diagnostics as she continues to embrace life to its fullest. Then, the challenges of relitigating the trial of a man convicted more than 30 years ago in a series of Western Slope pipe bombings. Also, Denver Pride's new vision amid construction on Colfax and in Civic Center. And, we remember Colorado centenarian Nancy Tipton.
