considering he has dementia, he could have been running from anything… govt, aliens, fireworks… kinda strange that if he was found behind the health center that they didn’t find him earlier.
haha….she took it off.
Yea, title was messed up. I am glad he is okay, although I wonder what he was running from. Hmmmmm???
JELLO!
maybe we’re just introducing ourselves now??? haha
anyways, i don’t like the headline of this article. i totally thought he was dead!
ok, I hope that wasn’t posted for me. I said nothing wrong.
Thank goodness he is okay. I wonder if Summit Trace Health Care has any responsibility in this occurance.
