My father was stationed in Michigan for a moment. We lived in An Arbor, right across from the Michelin Tire, in the Lemon Tree Apartments. I think this was 1976 or 77, so I would have been ten. I went to work with my dad, to the Navy recruiting office, and wondered off. I was gone the entire morning. When I returned, there were over a dozen police officers, and one grabbed me by the shoulders and put me in front of my dad, in his Navy Whites, and asked, "is this your boy?"

It turned out, I had the entire Detroit police force looking for me thinking I was lost hurt or something. LOL. My dad wasn't happy I couldn't tell him precisely where I was. I just 'wandered' off. I wasn't lost. I wasn't worried.

Now, if you ask me, was there missing time, or did I as a kid just not pay attention. Haha!
