I heard that last night a woman, on Glenwood Road, said that she saw this man looking for a ride to Brooklyn. He most probably went into the woods to take a nap till this morning. he looked and said that he is allright, but the Hatzoloh took him to the Hospital to be checked out, Chasdai hashem. (We needed some zechusim)

We should start realizing that just as we are protective of our small children in bunglaow colonies, so too should we be protective of our elderly parents who can be just as vulnerable to becoming lost.
