CLINT UPDATE...MON Aug 22nd
We are continuing to follow leads. I spent the day with Mr. Carter last Friday and plan to do the same this week. On Friday, he is going to give me a course he calls “Automotive 101.” At least I have found a “dependable and trustworthy” mechanic out of all of this. As Jerry Seinfeld says, that is one of the hardest things to find.
Mr. Carter tried to pay me for the lunch I brought him on Friday (a Reuben sandwich from Canter’s deli). I told him that his helping us find Clint was payment enough. He truly has no idea how grateful we are to have found him and how grateful we are that he allows us to call him everyday and stop by to visit. How grateful we are that he continues to follow any leads that come his way and hopes as much as we do that Clint will be found. I was driving Carter to the bank on Friday afternoon and he turned to me and said, “Debbie, do us all a favor and marry that boy when you find him.” I said, “Mr. Carter, I just want to talk to him again.” Oh, Mr. Carter. He believes in this story as much as we do and hopes for a beautiful resolution.
On Saturday, Beth and I drove to Brentwood to steal a sign that Carter had told us he wanted. We then drove to his house and I attached a note to it that said:
“Dear Mr. Carter,
This is in payment for you helping us find Clint again. It was very easy to get this sign. If only finding Clint were so easy.”
Carter has a couple more leads that he doesn’t want to tell me about because he doesn’t want to get my hopes up in case, they too, do not pan out. But he is still hopeful that this will all happen soon. I am too…
Updates will follow…
