Jim

Jim is a brother [3 years younger than me] who walked out of the house when he was 16. Quite school and started living on the streets. He was in the army and went to Vietnam, where he toke care of the dead soldiers. I have no idea what happened over there but he was dishonorable discharged. I got back from Vietnam in 1967 walked into the house, phone was ringing so I answered it. It was the police wanting to know if mother wanted to bail Jim out of jail. She said no. So I went down and bailed him out. Never did get the money back. He disappeared again until 1972. Showed up for Christmas, said hello and was gone for good. My youngest brother Hank, went to see him in Columbus in 1985, have no idea how he know he was there. That is the last time anyone in the family has seen him. About 2 years ago I started a back ground search for him. Got some help from a buddy who has some computer sites he uses for back ground searches part time. Jim has a record with the Columbus police department, a long record. So my brother and me started going to Columbus to all the different addresses on the police reports. All of the addresses are vacant lots or retail buldings or just aren't there. I will say one thing if you want a prostuite or drugs this is the place to go. Nasty part of town. Just got back from another trip to try to find him. No luck. Talked to some people at the salvation army, who have not seen him but though they might know some people who did. Gave them my phone number told them to call me if anything came up. Will just watch the police reports to see when he gets picked up for something than try again to find him. What is really funny is that my brother and me have no idea what we are going to do or say when we find him. But we will have found him and told him we love him. I guess that is what it is all about.
