    I wonder what happened to that 12 year old kid who led the cops on that chase. He seemed like he was going down the wrong road early. Any ideas? Maybe he reads the Times and will see himself here.
    –Good question. I was going to do a separate story on Larry Price but got buried with other items (so many stories, only one Larry Harnisch)…. He doesn’t appear in The Times after these stories, so we don’t know what became of him.
    –Larry
