This is indeed a small world.  Dan Nichols (article  spelled his name wrong) 
was on my college soccer team in the early  1960s, in fact, his brother was my 
roommate.  When he first helped  "Saved" he and I talked about the incident 
and then in the ensuing months when I  heard all about the problems caused by 
the individual and told Dan,  he communicated with the police and gave them 
information that identified  him by name, etc., and put the police in touch with 
his family.  
 
Dan still has a shower for hikers who wander off the trail.  He is  motivated 
by his religious faith and helps people who appear to be hungry  or lost.  He 
should be included in one of the trail guides for those who  seek out the 
little places along the trail that offer comfort.
