National: 74 year old woman found
From: Newsweek


A 74 year old woman who went missing in the Oregon wilderness was found alive on Thursday. Her and her husband had been hunting and had gotten stuck on a dirt road. They had hiked four miles when she began to get fatigued, and decided to go back to their car. The woman's husband continues on and was found that Saturday. For two weeks there was no sign of Doris Anderson. The search was called off on Aug 31, and Doris' family had already begun making plans for her memorial service when she was discovered. She suffered a broken hip and severe dehydration, but otherwise was okay.
Opinion:
I would feel so guilty if I were that woman's husband. Why did it seem like a good idea to let a 74 year old woman hike back by herself, in the middle of the forest? If I were in that situation, the first thing that would occur to me would be to stay together and not separate. I picture my grandmother being in the forest like that for two weeks, and I'm not sure she could handle it.
