After dinner, June googled the guy in the blog post with the most unusual name. Only one Theodore Theronowki was listed. One! Thank you, Theodore Theronowki, for having that name! She typed the name and the words white pages into the search engine, and an address and telephone number came right up. He lived in Illinois.

Her heart beating like mad, she grabbed her phone and dialed.

“John Smith, John Smith,” Theodore Theronowki said after she explained why she was calling. “From the Jazz Experience? I don’t remem— Oh, wait, yes. When Parker got mono or something like that, his friend John filled in for him on bass for a couple of months. I transferred to BU at the end of that year, so I didn’t get to know John too well.”

He remembered him. June closed her eyes in silent thanks. She was close.

“So you don’t have an address for him? Even an old one or an old number? Something that I could use to maybe link back to him?”

“Nope, sorry. I do remember that he lived on Haywood Street or Place or whatever, though. Haywood’s my middle name and some buddies call me that, and I remember him once saying he grew up on Haywood something. Don’t know where, though.”

Haywood Something. In Bangor. It was all she needed.

That would lead to his parents. Which would lead to him. Thank you, Theodore Theronowki. Thank you.

After she and Theodore hung up, she typed Haywood, Bangor, Maine into Google Maps and there it was, Haywood Circle, a cul-de-sac. Of course, his parents might not still live there. But a quick search of Smith, Haywood Circle, Bangor, Maine, brought up Eleanor and Steven Smith, 22 Haywood Circle.

Tears sprang to her eyes and she covered her mouth with her hand, shocked that she’d finally found him—or almost—after all this time, all this looking. She had her way back to him. But now what? Did she call his parents? Say she was an old friend and would love to get in touch with John? What if they didn’t forward the message? What if they were estranged? What if John was engaged or married and his parents didn’t want to give his contact information to an old friend? An old girlfriend. How much should she say to get the ball rolling? How little?

Hello, Mrs. Smith. My name is June Nash, and I knew your son, John, seven years ago when he was traveling in New York. I lost touch with him, and I’d love to have his contact information.

That sounded reasonable.

She’d talk it over with Isabel and Kat, get their opinions on her opening. For the hundredth time she was grateful they were right here, available for important talks at all hours of the day and night.
