Stephanie Augello/WWD Katie Couric revealed this week that she experienced an episode of Transient Global Amnesia in June, which first prompted the prolific journalist’s family to believe she was having a stroke.
“There was nothing all that unusual about that Saturday morning. John went to work out, so I walked into town from his parents’ condo in Aspen to go to the weekly farmer’s market and get some iced coffee,” Couric wrote in a Substack post, titled “A Day I’ll Never Remember,” published July 6. “I bought some beautiful peaches and nectarines, a big bag of kettle corn and a cute straw hat I really didn’t need. I headed back, ate a bowl of cereal with one of the peaches, and got dressed for an afternoon at the Aspen Ideas Festival. I decided to wear a white linen suit, a navy and white knit sleeveless shirt, and my new hat. John drove with me to the campus of the Aspen Institute and was excited to go to the hot dog stand for lunch. (They’re really good hot dogs!) That’s the last thing I remember.”
