Missing Man Found Alive
September 15, 2011
An elderly man missing from the Brewton area since Tuesday was found alive by searchers this morning in Conecuh County, Alabama. He was transported to D.W. McMillan Hospital in Brewton, where family members said he was in good condition.
Rufus Davis Blair, 77, had not been seen since he left his residence on Cooper Cemetery Road without his cell phone or personal belongings. His 2003 white Buick LaSabrewas found near Castleberry, Alabama, and volunteers from across the area spent the morning searching a heavily wooded area. They first located one of his shoes near a creek, and later found him about 10:30 a.m.

That’s already been done. I believe they were responding.
Call ESAR, they always do a great job.
I don’t believe in government intervention, but I am beginning to believe that if a person has Alzheimer’s disease, which I have NO idea if this man does or not, for peace of mind of the family should something like this happen, wearing a tracking bracelet (not sure what you call it) would be of most help. Where I used to live a man ventured out into the snow covered woods, and he was NEVER found. Therefore the family never had closure. This particular man did have Alzheimer’s – he left his home while his wife was hanging clothes. And yes, back then, clothes were hung outside when it was freezing cold! Praying that this man is FOUND SAFE and SOUND.
Dear Lord, let him be found safe! Amen.
Lord please send Mr Blair home safe.
ur in are prayers uncle ……
