Westport’s own Dan Woog brings his popular blog “06880: Where Westport Meets the World” to life, via the Verso Studios at The Westport Library – recorded LIVE in the Trefz Forum! His guests this week are Doug and Patti Brill, whose lives were forever changed by Neurosarcoidosis, a rare brain virus that erased Doug’s long-term memory. Doug Brill was a high-level executive at GE Capital before the virus left him unable to retain memories beyond a matter of days. For Doug, the past has largely disappeared — but with Patti by his side, the two have built a life grounded in partnership, resilience, and an ever-evolving understanding of the present. Together, they share a story that is at once sobering and deeply inspiring, offering a rare and intimate look at memory, identity, and what it truly means to live in the moment.
