I grew up less than an mile from there. My family has refused to tell many folks where his house is. We used to call him if the person sounded like a friend plausibly lost. I encourage folks to give him his privacy. I think he's earned it. I am a little impressed you found the house. I grew up less than an mile from there.

He lives right off I91, so it was easy. No, I didn't have the courage, I guess, to knock. And I didn't open his mailbox. I stopped on the way home. He lives right off I91, so it was easy.
