The husband"I'd almost given up for dead" was found in New York.But the blind former southfield piano tuner told police, "I will not return home." "My wife knows why I left," said Gerald Henke,31. "It's not for the public to know."Southfield police wrote "closed" on the missing person file that had mystified them since March 4,1966.

But he took home about $200 a week as a piano tuner for Smiley Brothers Music Co. On that day a ywar ago, Gerald Henke 31, 28651 southfield. Blind husband.
