It was a worried voice that called out through the biting rain over the loudspeakers for little Omo, a small 6-year-old boy, lost amid the towering monuments and crowded avenues of America’s capital city. (story by Bob Block and Robert Bartalotta)

“Deep Down In Florida,
Where The Sun Shines Damn Near Everyday.”
