"I don't want to force him (Dennis) to do a damn thing. I just want to talk with him. "If he thinks no one cares what happens to him, I'm here to show him that it's not true. But I can only stay so long. I have a family and a job." Wounded War Veteran Lyle's big brother, a wound ed veteran of World War II fighting on Okinawa, despair ed of life five years ago. He took to the vast park to escape a existence which he found as palatable as sawdust. On April 3, police picked up a ragged, bearded man in the park as a prowler suspect. It was Dennis Farrell-a Ne braska boy, an infantryman and now a hermit within a metropolitan area of more than six million persons. Dennis told of his decision to reject society: '"I saw no future in any thing. I thought I'd just go up there and die. I just didn't see any future." In his depression, the vete ran wanted to die. He tried to starve himself but hunger pangs drove him to the leav ings of picknickers and gar bage cans of homes bordering the park, For five years, he lived that way, sometimes sleeping where night found him, some times staying in a cave or in a lean-to built out of scraps.

The hermit's father and brother came from Nebraska. They were too late. Dennis had returned to his sanctuary. The task of finding him in the giant park with its own mountain range "seemed im possible." The uncles left. So did the father, but Lyle stayed on determined to stick as lone as possible in hopes that his brother, might hear that his relatives were looking for him.
