REUNION

This spring, Mary Ellen Suey will finally meet the man who rescued her as an abandoned infant in an Indiana field 58 years ago. Dave Hickman was 14 then and out hunting squirrels with his grandfather when they heard the infant cooing. They whisked her to a hospital and she was quickly adopted, but Hickman has always wondered about her fate. Late last year he contacted retired county Sheriff John Catey, who tracked her down in California. On the phone, Hickman and Suey felt an immediate bond. “It’s almost as if she was my baby,” said Hickman, who will see her again in May.
