Educated homeless man wants job Educated homeless man wants job CLEVELAND Henry Navin lumbers along the streets of downtown Cleveland like an urban gypsy, lugging white plastic bags one or two at a time to and from the homeless shelter. Navin moves one or two bags 25 or 30 yards, then goes back for one or two more until he has moved them all. He continues this routine until he has moved his last bag to his final destination. It takes him three hours,cheap ghd straighteners, just about every day, to walk five city blocks from the men's homeless shelter on Lakeside Avenue to Cleveland State University where he audits classes and uses the library computer to look for work. His long daily journeys seem to have captured the imagination of downtown residents, workers and passers by. Some even offer him rides. He continues this monotonous routine through the seasons rain, snow and unbearable heat as he has for the past 17 months. All the job prospects that have fallen through this summer will probably force him to spend another Cleveland winter on the streets,true religion factory outlet. He is determined to go somewhere else for work and milder winters. His credentials have become irrelevant. Navin holds a law degree from CSU,toms outlet, an undergraduate business degree and an MBA from Case Western Reserve University. He is both visible and invisible in a world with mixed and often unsympathetic feelings toward men like him. "You see someone poor and you look away," said Navin,north face jacket, who has been homeless for nearly a year and a half living on the streets and in shelters. "The thing to do is keep a low profile." He acknowledges that onlookers may find his pack rat nature peculiar. But he said he has been robbed before, and he can't store his bags at the shelter. He also is burdened by poor health. He said he has a hernia, chipped and broken teeth and problems with his eyes. Navin's downward spiral sent him to the doorstep of the Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry's homeless shelter at 2100 Lakeside Ave. in Cleveland. To its residents, the shelter is known simply as 2100. Navin's predicament does not surprise David Titus,burberry, who heads the Women's Community Shelter on Payne Avenue downtown. "Ten years ago,ralph lauren pas cher, we had a guy who had his undergraduate degree from Harvard and his law degree from Yale, and he was schizophrenic, wandering around our agency," Titus said. Even though some of the homeless have mental health, drug and addiction problems, Titus says that about one in 10 people passing through homeless shelters is mentally healthy. "Everyone has their time when the biorhythms seem to be off and they have trouble managing their life and they end up in these situations temporarily," Titus said. Henry C. Navin was born in June 1946, in a small suburb of Detroit. His mother, Julia, was a talkative housewife,coach outlet, and the complete opposite of his father, Charles, a cook whose trademark was silence. Navin won't talk much more about his family. "It's just me,valentino shoes." How things turned out for Navin is unclear. He held business administrative positions in Chicago and New York before joining the Cleveland Clinic in 1978 as an assistant administrative director, he said. The clinic confirmed that Navin worked there for four years but did not provide details about his departure. While he worked at the Cleveland Clinic, Navin said he was offered another job in Texas, which he told his boss about. He did not take the job. Sometime later, the clinic let him go. Navin never quite recovered from his 1982 dismissal from the clinic. Navin said he can't forget the chilling words: "I'm letting you go." A few years ago, he worked for Triangle Machine Products in Cleveland and his boss,michael kors outlet, Mike Casper, said Navin was a good worker, got along with fellow employees and was well spoken. He has worked a number of temp agency jobs since then and lived in a boarding room in Lakewood for a while. In late October 2000, Navin was evicted from a house on Portage Avenue in Cleveland. His belongings were put on the tree lawn a few days later,true religion outlet, and then they were removed by garbage collectors. Navin, representing himself, appealed the eviction case to the 8th Ohio District Court of Appeals.
