Homeless Dave Gold told of Aunt's Death

I recently sent a rather detailed letter relating the strange odyssey of a homeless friend, age 66 ,in frail health, now living in his car somewhere in Chicago- one of the most dangerous cities in the United States. He is the nephew of a socially prominent woman who just left a fortune to Brown University.
       On Wednesday night he called me as expected. I informed him of his aunt's death. He said he recently was escorted out a hospital by security guards, after the hospital failed to find any shelter for him.
          How many readers of the Providence Journal know about the daily humiliation and terror of being homeless in this country ? Or the joys of living in a broken down Lincoln Town Car ?
         It seems to me that too many people who might help  Dave don't even want to hear his story. He himself is quite articulate. He represents the All-American nightmare- a fear of falling.
