Finding the gold and staying sober!

I am writing about Manny aka Mike Corby, a long time resident of Bloomfield. He was born here in 1955 and is still going strong. I am writing this story about him for two reasons.  First, because when I saw him in Brookside Park with a small shovel and metal detector, he seemed to be having fun.  And showed me several items he had found in Bloomfield. And second, he told me that he once was a confirmed alcoholic for many years but has been sober twenty plus years when he put his life on a different path and has remained clean to this day. If this is what has helped him cope with this disease, than he really did find gold.  
This is that magic bullet for Manny and a miracle in itself.
Good Luck Manny in finding that pot of gold!
