as to his intentions. Friends and
family members did not beome
aware that he was missing un-
til the weekend, when Atkinson,
a member of the cross-country
team, didn't show up for practice
Friday, or for a meet on Saturday.
His disappearance instigated
a statewide search, with news cov-
erage from major networks. Fam-
ily members posted "missing"
posters throughout Sweet Home
on Saturday, a relative, Charlie
Grove, said.
Grove said Atkinson was
found Sunday afternoon by fam-
ily in Lebanon, unaware that peo-
ple were looking for him. He was
back in classes at Corban Univer-
sity on Tuesday.
Atkinson, whose parents live
in Guam and whose sister coml3et-
ed in track and field for Guam in
the 2012 London Olympics, is the
great-grandson of longtime Sweet
Home resident, and former pastor
of Elm Street Baptist Church, Ray
Atkinson and has family through-
out the area.
"The family would like to
express thanks to the many from
the Sweet Home and lebanon
area that helped in the search, and
many others that were praying,;'
Grove said.
"A special thanks is extended
to the local businesses. Of the 50-
60 that we asked to post "missing"
posters, not a single business said
no. By the way, thanks to those
businesses that were closed - we
took liberty with your window
space as well.
"We are thankful to God for
the best possible outcome. If we
missed removing any posters,
please take the liberty. Luke was
found and is doing fine."
