At App State, a movement for Joshua

From Boone today, a story about a man named Joshua.

If you went to Appalachian State University, you know Joshua. Or at least recognize him and saw him on the street.

Long beard, unkempt, charming. One of those crazy characters you find in college towns.

As Ruth Sheehan reports today, Joshua - whose identity is not entirely clear - has some medical issues. He's in the hospital in Winston-Salem, but there's a movement afoot in Boone to bring Joshua home.

It's touching. Have a read.
