Ramone's Story

 Emma Andrew

If you've ever lived in Gainesville, you know his face. You've seen him on street corners, park benches, courthouse steps and the end of an empty table at the library.
You've seen him get in liquor stores, in the back of a cop car or behind bars.
You've seen him smile, laugh and thank you for your generous donation that will likely go to feed the addiction that controls his life. But do you know him?
Who is he?
