DETROIT - A frail little woman from Alaska says she finally caught up with her man after a 3,000-mile journey from Ketchikan to Detroit. Mrs. Rena Millard, 56, told circuit judge Victor Targonski yesterday it took her 3½ years to catch up with her husband, Lawrence, 48. She said he abandoned her and her son on tiny Gavina Island near Ketchikan, Alaska, in 1952. Learning her husband was in Detroit, Mrs. Millard flew here Sept. 17 and located him after checking telephone directories and tracking down several old addresses. Millard, a truck driver, was arrested for nonsupport and ordered by Judge Targonski to pay his wife $25 a week.
