I directed Dr. Parker Addison of Dobbs Institute to investigate the following case. She interviewed Mr. Preston Wilson, a former student of ours, and together they created a report. The report follows.
Eugene Washburn owned an attractive two-story home northwest of Dobbs Institute, just off Amelia Foster Street. The old man was notorious for being a "bad neighbor," and for sternly scolding any children who might step onto his property. If a ball or a toy landed in Eugene's yard, the kids would creep onto the property very carefully, so as not to get caught. If they did get caught, they'd be berated. If Mr. Washburn happened to see their ball or toys, he took their property inside the house and kept it. He seemed to loathe children, and in return, they despised him.
It seemed as though everyone disliked Mr. Washburn. When the old man fell ill, no one came to the hospital to comfort him. He disliked religious figures, so no local pastor was able to minister to him.
The same types of things happened when Mr. Washburn was released to a local rest home. Mr. Washburn didn't like the facility staff and verbally abused them. In turn, though they would never admit it, the nurses and employees didn't think much of him, either.
Unfortunately, Mr. Washburn passed away in his room, alone. As it turned out, he had one nephew, who was en route to the nursing home when Washburn went to meet his maker. He had just made it to Dobbs City when his uncle died, but he was just a bit too late to see him while he was still alive.
