<VV> John Fitch is FINE

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

Really great to hear that John got out on his own, with no one's permission 
 and had a good day's drive.  It would have been perfect if he had driven  
the Phoenix.  "He ain't dead yet by a long shot." as one of my old  
acquaintances used to say.  Same goes for Corsa, Corvairs and their  owners.

> John is FINE.....after a day  of adventure..... for us all.  He was due 
to be discharged from Noble  Horizons this week.  In preparation for that, he 
had asked to have his  Station Wagon Mercedes at The Home, (that was parked 
in the first parking  space, in view of the Main Entrance.)  He was not 
given the keys, but had  a plan with me, to begin packing his clothes, gifts, 
paperwork, etc., into the  Mercedes with me, on Monday after lunch.  
>  
> On  Sunday, as seen on the Security Camera tape, he walked himself out of 
the  Building, without word to staff, or anyone else....walked straight to 
his car,  without any difficulty, (after using a wheel chair for the past 
3-4 weeks) and  drove off at about 11:30 am.  He went to Mc Donald's, and then 
took  himself out for a drive, on a beautiful day.....without ANYONE 
knowing  so.  By Sunday afternoon, we were all out looking over the highways, over 
 bent guard rails, in pastures, all of the local restaurants, down at the  
Track, even to The Geer Facility that Elizabeth lived in until she  
passed....at 91.
>  
> Troopers, and Local Police cruised 3  States looking for him.....those of 
us who were out driving...and  re-driving....crossed each other many times, 
while on the hunt.  He only  had 1/4 tank of gas, and it was dark and 
getting colder.....very scary.   Crystal stayed the the Fitch Homestead, in case 
he drove home......we checked  the Garage and Barn several times, thinking 
he might just get home, and be too  tired to get out of the car and walk 
inside.   Everybody called  everybody...........and finally........at 10:30 pm, 
he drove himself to "The  Red Lion Inn" in Mass......and booked himself a 
room.    
>  
> The Desk Agent realized that it was quite unusual for  a older gentleman 
to check in, alone, without any belongings, and were  diligent in calling 
the Police.....that had a "Silver Alert" out on him.   He was transported to 
the local Medical Facility.....spent the night in  care....and was driven 
back to Nobel Horizons, by noon on  Monday.
>  
> I drove to the "Red Lion Inn" and retrieved his  car, and brought it to 
the garage in his house.  
>  
>  The staff at Nobel Horizons has moved him to a new room, with a higher 
level  of supervision.   I just left him....he wants his pants back!.....  
and a phone..... as he has "many things to do, TODAY"!    .......   and so.....
>  
> He was still discharged  on Thursday,  return to his cherished Lime Rock 
Homestead, and will  return to his very missed life, compete with 2 "live 
in" gentleman, and see  that his needs are met, and he has a comfortable life, 
at Home.
>   
> He was driving the Mercedes....and he, the Mercedes, and The Phoenix  are 
all in fine shape, back at The Fitch Homestead......prepring for an  
Eventful, Full, Rich Return to his Track and Events Life this  spring.
>  
> I am So, So sorry that his adventure, put all  of his loved ones in a 
serious state of alarm and deep, worrisome  concern.

> However, Fitch, is Fitch!
