To "Shane"- I know for a fact that he did not come into la-z-boy furniture gallery a week ago and ask for directions to Dayton Ohio. That is absolutely ridiculous.

This old man came into La-Z-Boy furniture gallery in South Charleston and asked for directions to Dayton Oh, about a week ago. He seemed like he was disoriented and couldn't figure out how to open his car door...glad to find out he didn't get hurt or hurt anyone else. I am glad for his family also.

How about a nursing home or a health care nurse. Turning off the breakers every night??? Sounds a little out of control
