Scanner Reports 11-29-19

By Roger the Scanner Guy

It was January 1974 when I got to the Boys Home it was called Leslie Boys Home after a Dr. Leslie. It was in Fort Wayne, Indiana on the property of St. Vincent’s in the 2000 Block of North Wells street, there were 3 sets of Houseparents, all young. Tim and Sandy were the Full-time Houseparents both in their late 20’s, then there was Richard and Robin, and Jo and Bert. Richard was in his 30’s, Robin early 30’s, Jo and Bert 20’s. We had a cook an older woman named Dolly she made Hamburger Habit every day 400 Different ways usually burned to a fine crisp she was a chef. I loved Hamburger Habit I loved it so much I haven’t eaten it since 1974. There was a kid they told me to stay away from he was trouble, they said so I made it a point to not only hang out with the guy but become roommates. First thing we did was bust into the Arts and Crafts closet and steal a case of Testers Airplane glue that stuff was real bad but back then it was anything to get high. Tim and Sandy took a job in Washington D.C. and were leaving so new staff members were hired. There was Julie, and Teresa, Deke, Jerry, and Po they were all single but did not have to be married to be house parents…They were all college students in their 20’s. Po was 26 Years old, 6’4″ 300+ pounds a former Gary, Indiana Street Gang Leader he wanted to be a Basketball coach and went to St. Francis College in Fort Wayne while working at the Boys Home. There was a Doctor who ran the whole show her name was Sylvia Lee she was 42 and Married and had a very weird sense of humor. Deke wore funny looking glasses kinda like Elton John he was tall and muscular he did not put up with any shit but he was nice. Jerry had long hair and was a bit wild he drove the Boys Home Van about 90 mph we loved him. Teresa, I was in love with, wore flannel shirts, jeans, long straight brown hair. I was in love with my house Mother, film at 11. Julie was just Julie she was nice. I really did not know much about her she hung out with Zeke. The First week Po was there everyone flocked around him like birds he was a big guy and friendly and Black. If you’re from the area I come from at that time Black people, White People, Mexican people did not really hang out there was a lot of racism in those days, there is a lot now too.

My first interaction with Po this huge smiling man was when I bitch slapped him as hard as I could and called him the “N” word, he punched me right in the mouth. We were even, he told me to never call him the “N” word again but I had OCD no one knew what OCD was then. There were 18 of us in the boys home many of the boys were little criminals but some of us were unwanted. I’ve only been able to find one in all these years and he doesn’t like me because he voted for Chump that is OK though people change. Me and Po ended up pretty close I got myself in trouble and was to be sent back to the State Hospital and he along with several other staff members stood up and said they would flat out quit if I was sent back so Po kinda became my Foster Father. Between the 2 other fathers I had Po was the best he was a good man we became close for awhile he saved my life when I got meningitis after I had meningitis I was taken out of the boys home and sent somewhere else we saw less and less of each other as we both aged. Po passed away in 2007 he was the Basketball Coach at Urbana College in Ohio. I will probably write more about Po here and there I’m grateful for having had Po in my life and that he was my True Father. HERE are YOUR scanner reports
