"I am in the early stages of the disease," Nussbaum says in an email to his colleagues at N12. "My family and I are aware of the ramifications and are preparing accordingly.
"There is no need to rush eulogize me," he continued. "I'm still alive and kicking, just maybe a little slower. Right now, I intend to continue working, although naturally, I'll be slowing down."
ALS, often called Lou Gehrig's disease, after the famed baseball player who was diagnosed with it, is a terminal disease.
