The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office is searching for a missing elderly man with Alzheimer's disease who has not been seen since he drove away from his Morgan Hill home Friday morning.

Alfred Guzman, 79, has no short or long term memory and has not driven a vehicle since 2007, Sgt. Jose Cardoza said. He takes medication for his condition but did not take it today.

He drove away from his home on the 19600 block of Dougherty Avenue around 8:45 a.m. in a 1994 teal green GMC truck, and has not been seen since. He was not carrying money, identification or a cellphone, Cardoza said.

Guzman is described as 5 feet 4 inches and 150 pounds, with a missing right thumb. He was last seen wearing black jeans and a blue sweatshirt.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call (408) 808-4410.

It's difficult to know what's going on in a kid's mind unless they feel confident enough to open upRead More and talk. And this program helps us adults to learn to listen differently.

I too was at this Challenge Day. It was my 6th. I first volunteered because I watched the programRead More on MTV "If You Really Knew Me" when my son was being severely bullied in middle school and saw the program was offered when he was a freshman in high school. My company strongly supports me volunteering for this and allows me to take the day off work to attend. I am continually humbled by what these teens share and saddened at what some of them have experienced in their short lives. This program is so valuable. I think every school should offer it and every parent should attend. It helps us to realize that we need to think twice before we judge or assume things about others when we know nothing about them. It is the volunteering opportunity that I look forward to participating in every year.
