Seth, Rosemary told us a story about a time when Herbert and the family were staying at their Aunt Martha's house.

At one time, um, Ben's dad was beating me up in the, in her house, and I knew she didn't like me, but she stomped her foot and she says, "Herbert, Herbert, don't you beat that woman in my house.
17:26
Take her out there and beat her out there." She didn't try to defend me or anything.
17:31
She just wanted me to get beaten outside.
17:34
So, um, at that time, I knew I, I was, I didn't belong there.
17:38
I didn't...
17:39
I just needed to, to go.

A bunch of bus trips later, we were in Sacramento, California, and then my mom saw a note on a telephone pole that said, "If you don't have anywhere to go for Christmas Eve or Christmas, call this number."
