Sadly today, the police came and wrote him up threateningly telling him he needs to vacate his spot. I felt hopeless in this situation. Is he really not homeless? He was freaking out because he didn’t want to loose his box of papers.

I haven’t seen him in a couple years though. There was a piece published on a site about a year ago, but I haven’t seen him or heard of him after that. If anyone has a way to reach him, please let me know.

I was shocked to see a picture of him as a homeless man in the “International New York Times” of June 17, 2014.

I haven’t seen him in years but am anxious for news of him.
